Hello,

I can confirm that.

As a workaround, I've tested building gzip-1.4 from source using the=20
a simple cygport file (below), taking advantage of gzip building OOTB.
It builds OK and all tests are passed successfully.
(Proper packaging still requires a setup.hint and a README, of course).

$ cat gzip-1.4-1.cygport
SRC_URI=3D"http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/${PN}/${P}.tar.xz"
HOMEPAGE=3D"http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/${PN}/"

Maybe this is a good chance to promote gzip to current upstream
version?

Also, could the following change in /usr/include/sys/stat.h be related?

 Newlib ChangeLog

   * libc/include/sys/stat.h (UTIME_NOW): Define for Cygwin.
   (UTIME_OMIT): Ditto.
   (utimensat): Declare for Cygwin.
   (futimens): Ditto.

 158 #if defined (__CYGWIN__) && !defined(__INSIDE_CYGWIN__)
 159 int _EXFUN(fchmodat, (int, const char *, mode_t, int));
 160 int _EXFUN(fstatat, (int, const char *, struct stat *, int));
 161 int _EXFUN(mkdirat, (int, const char *, mode_t));
 162 int _EXFUN(mkfifoat, (int, const char *, mode_t));
 163 int _EXFUN(mknodat, (int, const char *, mode_t, dev_t));
 164 int _EXFUN(utimensat, (int, const char *, const struct timespec *, int=
));
 165 int _EXFUN(futimens, (int, const struct timespec *));
 166 #endif

Did it break gzip-1.3 (2007)?
