Details on this package are located in Section 6.45.2, “Contents of Gzip.”
The Gzip package contains programs for compressing and decompressing files.
User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/hlfs/wiki/gzip
The version of the function “futimens” used by Gzip is incompatible with the version that current Glibc provides, so we'll rename the function:
for file in gzip.c lib/utimens.{c,h} ; do \
cp -v $file{,.orig}
sed 's/futimens/gl_&/' $file.orig > $file
done
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
