Source: gzip

gzip fails to build from source in unstable (since the glibc upgrade to
2.28):

|   CC       fseeko.o

| ../../lib/fseeko.c:110:4: error: #error "Please port gnulib fseeko.c to your platform! Look at the code in fseeko.c, then report this to bug-gnulib."

gnulib likes to use this construct to detect glibc:

| #if defined _IO_ftrylockfile || __GNU_LIBRARY__ == 1 /* GNU libc, BeOS, Haiku, Linux libc5 */

Unfortunately, _IO_ftrylockfile got removed from glibc/2.28 and
__GNU_LIBRARY__ is 6, so glibc is not a GNU libc.

gnulib has a history of breaking packages frequently. What makes matters
worse is that gnulib gets embedded rather than used like any other
component. So fixing this bug in gnulib does not fix gzip. I therefore
cloned a separate instance as it still breaks e.g. lbzip2.

I believe this bug is really fixed with 
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=4af4a4a71827c0bc5e0ec67af23edef4f15cee8e
