System: NetBSD miyu 2.0_BETA NetBSD 2.0_BETA (MIYU) #10: Sat Jul 10 03:16:36 MEST 2004 feyrer@miyu:/home/cvs/src-2.0/sys/arch/i386/compile/obj.i386/MIYU i386

>Description:
	I ran into this while trying to compile quakeforge on 2.0_BETA/i386:
	Aparently NetBSD's new gzip doesn't mind compressing files again,
	even if they already have a .gz suffix:

		miyu% cp /etc/group .
		miyu% gzip group 
		miyu% gzip group.gz 
		miyu% gzip group.gz.gz 
		miyu% gzip group.gz.gz.gz 
		...
		miyu% gzip -V
		NetBSD gzip 20040524
		miyu% uname -a
		NetBSD miyu 2.0_BETA NetBSD 2.0_BETA (MIYU) #10: Sat Jul 10 03:16:36 MEST 2004  feyrer@miyu:/home/cvs/src-2.0/sys/arch/i386/compile/obj.i386/MIYU i386


	This does not happen on stock GNU gzip:

		ice% cp /etc/group .
		ice% gzip group 
		ice% gzip group.gz 
		gzip: group.gz already has .gz suffix -- unchanged
		ice% gzip -f group.gz
		gzip: group.gz already has .gz suffix -- unchanged
		ice% gzip -V
		gzip 1.2.4 (18 Aug 93)
		Compilation options:
		DIRENT UTIME STDC_HEADERS HAVE_UNISTD_H ASMV 
		ice% uname -a
		FreeBSD ice 4.9-STABLE FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE #11: Sun Jan 25 15:43:27 CET 2004     


>How-To-Repeat:
	cd /usr/pkgsrc/games/quakeforge
	make

	See it fail

>Fix:
	Make new NetBSD gzip conform to GNU behaviour and refuse to
	compress a file with .gz suffix.
