Hi, On NetBSD, building gzip from git (with the newest gnulib) and running "make check" as root produces 1 test failure:
FAIL: write-error ================= FAIL write-error (exit status: 1) How to reproduce: 1. Download tarball.zip from https://github.com/gnu-gzip/ci-check/actions/runs/9033181872/artifacts/1491311737 2. Unpack it. 3. tar xfz gzip-2024-05-10.tar.gz 4. ./configure; make; make check The attached patch fixes it (and produces no regressions).
