Cannot build gzip-1.3.11

[John Taylor]

Hello,

I'm trying to build gzip-1.3.11. Make fails with the following error:

x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. 
-I../../gzip-1.3.11/lib     -g -O2 -MT utimens.o -MD -MP -MF 
.deps/utimens.Tpo -c -o utimens.o ../../gzip-1.3.11/lib/utimens.c
In file included from ./sys/stat.h:27,

make[1]: *** [all] Error 2

make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

I configured it with the following arguments: --prefix=/usr 
--build=i486-unknown-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.

I managed to write down a workaround:

for i in gzip.c lib/utimens.h lib/utimens.c; do
        cp ${i} ${i}.bak
        sed --expression="s/futimens/gl_futimens/" ${i}.bak > ${i}
        rm ${i}.bak
done

What do you think?

Thanks.
