One of the users of my Debian package of gzip points out that the zgrep
wrapper does not behave as expected when --color and -H are both called
for. See the attached message for more detail.

Is there a fix or workaround for this error when cross-compiling gzip
with i686-w64-mingw32-gcc? We build such an executable in the Debian
package build to support the debian-installer team. A quick scan
through the gzip and gnulib git repositories didn't point to anything
obvious.

Indeed. Thanks, I'm not sure why I did
Most of the SIGPIPE-related patch I've been carrying around in the
Debian gzip package is no longer necessary with 1.6, for which I thank
you. However, there is still one unconditional use of SIGPIPE that
caused someone in Debian a problem at some point... might have been on a
Hurd or BSD system,
In the process of building the Debian gzip 1.6-1 package, I folded in a
patch from one of our users that improves the zgrep man page to not lie

probably like to merge.

I was disappointed to see that gzip 1.6 apparently still doesn't include

13 Feb 2003.
Has someone determined that this definitely will *not* be merged, or is
a decade just not long enough yet for it to pop to the top of the

That fixes the compilation of gzip.c, but of course causes a link
failure since it leaves two calls to function do_chown() that is no
longer defined.

Yep, thanks! I've updated my packaging repo to use your approach for
the 1.9-2 upload.
