On 21-Jan-2010, I carried out build attempts for gzip-1.4 in about 60
environments on about 25 flavors of UNIX, but due to an unfortunate
delay in checking my build reports, I did not carry out the successful
installations until today, more than three months late.
Most builds were successful, but there were similar failures on
several platforms that suggest an error in the test, rather than in
gzip itself. Details are given below.
Today, I went back on each failing platform and tried a bare-bones of
the form
tar xfz /tmp/gzip-1.4.tar.gz
cd gzip-1.4
set path=(/usr/bin /bin)
./configure && make all check
to see whether I could improve the success rate, but it did not.
The FreeBSD, MirBSD, NetBSD, and Open Solaris systems were recently
upgraded to their latest O/S releases, so they are effectively very
new systems.
Here is a summary of the failures:

In addition, on the (rather old) DEC Alpha, I got a native cc compiler
error that was resolved by switching to gcc:
CC inflate.o
cc: Error: inflate.c, line 592: Invalid statement. (badstmt)
unsigned int delta = w > d ? w - d : d - w;
--------^
cc: Error: inflate.c, line 593: In this statement, "delta" is not
declared. (undeclared)
if (delta >= e)
------------^
[The SGI MIPS native c89 also refused to compile that statement.]
I also got a shell error that was resolved by switching to bash:
sh: abs_top_builddir=/local/build/bare/gzip-1.4: is not an identifier
gcc on that system also warned repeatedly about missing function
prototypes:
