I noticed that gzip's gen-ChangeLog rule was not robust, and that the
copy in coreutils/Makefile.am was fixed, so sync'd with this diff
(piggy-packing on this "issue" thread so as not to create another for
something so trivial).

Subject: [PATCH] maint: don't ignore gitlog-to-changelog failure
* Makefile.am (gen-ChangeLog): Don't ignore failure of
gitlog-to-changelog. This syncs to coreutils' copy of this rule.
