I've tested the patch (gzip-1.3.5-alpha.patch), and it fixes it for me.
Interestingly, the patched gzip-1.3.5 produced a different output from that of
the vanilla gzip-1.2.4a (the compressed files were different).  Yet they both could
be decompressed by each other's gunzip, and the decompressed files were identical.

So I think this patch is "good-to-go"!

I have also added this comment to the bug directly in bugzilla.

(Now, why won't sendmail-8.13.3 build?  Hmmmm...)
