User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/hlfs/wiki/gzip
By default Gzip uses assembly code. While this may preform better,
it is not position independent. The assembly code causes text
relocation which is disallowed by options in PaX/Grsec kernels. The
DEFS environment variable is set to use
only C code.
Prepare Gzip for compilation:
env DEFS=NO_ASM ./configure --prefix=/tools
Compile the package:
make
Install the package:
make install
