The attached patch is needed to build on AIX 7.1 with xlc V12.1 without generating warnings about SIGPIPE being redefined (gzip tailor.h defines SIGPIPE to 0 before /usr/include/signal.h redefines it to the proper value, and other include files include signal.h). I think gzip works OK even with the warnings, on this platform. Possibly the problem would prevent gzip builds on other platforms, though. Normally I'd just install this patch but we're so close to a release I thought I'd ask you first.
