I don't see issue in that patch; as I believe there is only one 'gzip' (GNU) and thus passing options via $GZIP was always equivalent to using options (i.e. no other implementations which could ignore incompatible options in $GZIP), sounds OK, thanks! Because this issue (a) breaks Automake's package build (testsuite) in Fedora where is a new gzip, and it (b) is probably not necessary to bother fedora's maintainers with GZIP warning anyway, FWIW, I'm going to backport.
