I believe it was Fedora 26 x86-64 with CFLAGS='-m32'. Another bug was present 
that contributed to the problem. I'll send email about that shortly.

This all came from my looking into Bruno Haible's recent bug reports about gzip 
when compiled with CFLAGS=-m32 on 64-bit platforms. Boy what a mess it is. I am 
starting to lean towards simply saying that it's not supported.
