This is required because some packages do not recommend building with
time_t when it is 32 bit (Y2038 problem).

NEWS
* Noteworthy changes in release 1.10 (2018-12-29) [stable]
** Changes in behavior
Compressed gzip output no longer contains the current time as a
timestamp when the input is not a regular file. Instead, the output
contains a null (zero) timestamp. This makes gzip's behavior more
reproducible when used as part of a pipeline. (As a reminder, even
regular files will use null timestamps after the year 2106, due to a
limitation in the gzip format.)
** Bug fixes
A use of uninitialized memory on some malformed inputs has been fixed.
[bug present since the beginning]
A few theoretical race conditions in signal handers have been fixed.
These bugs most likely do not happen on practical platforms.
[bugs present since the beginning]
In addition, gzip 1.10 comes with the GNU library patch applied, so
there is no need to carry this file around any more.

Most of these files still used old dates and/or domain names for contact
mail addresses. This is now replaced by an up-to-date copyright line.
Just some housekeeping... :-)

Excerpt from 'NEWS':
"* Noteworthy changes in release 1.9 (2018-01-07) [stable]
** Bug fixes
gzip -d -S SUFFIX file.SUFFIX would fail for any upper-case byte in SUFFIX.
E.g., before, this command would fail:
$ :|gzip > kT && gzip -d -S T kT
gzip: kT: unknown suffix -- ignored
[bug present since the beginning]
When decompressing data in 'pack' format, gzip no longer mishandles
leading zeros in the end-of-block code. [bug introduced in gzip-1.6]
When converting from system-dependent time_t format to the 32-bit
unsigned MTIME format used in gzip files, if a timestamp does not
fit gzip now substitutes zero instead of the timestamp's low-order
32 bits, as per Internet RFC 1952. When converting from MTIME to
time_t format, if a timestamp does not fit gzip now warns and
substitutes the nearest in-range value instead of crashing or
silently substituting an implementation-defined value (typically,
the timestamp's low-order bits). This affects timestamps before
1970 and after 2106, and timestamps after 2038 on platforms with
32-bit signed time_t. [bug present since the beginning]
Commands implemented via shell scripts are now more consistent about
failure status. For example, 'gunzip --help >/dev/full' now
consistently exits with status 1 (error), instead of with status 2
(warning) on some platforms. [bug present since the beginning]
Support for VMS and Amiga has been removed. It was not working anyway,
and it reportedly caused file name glitches on MS-Windowsish platforms."

This will allow us to run multiple builds on the same
system at the same time (or at least have them on disk).

new gzip version use zcat and gunzip shell scripts that
add the needed parameter to gzip.
