The attached patch fixes two warnings generated by Oracle Developer Studio 12.6 
on Solaris 10 sparc. The patch doesn't fix any real bugs and so is not urgent. 
All tests pass on this platform.

If the attached patch is installed, we can also remove the "-Wunreachable-code" 
line from configure.ac.

Subject: [PATCH] Remove unreachable code

Problem reported by Oracle Developer Studio 12.6.
In the old days we needed a return statement at the end of
the gzip main function to pacify traditional 'lint', but
lint checkers nowadays are smarter.
* gzip.c (main):
* zip.c (file_read): Remove unreachable code.
