While there add -lz to LIBS, which is needed with the new gzip. hmmm... is this because crunchgen is now finding src/usr.bin/gzip, which is not really enabled yet, over src/gnu/usr.bin/gzip? i don't mind using the new gzip (at all :-) but this wasn't an intentional change, and may need to be "fixed".... (i'd not think so.) .mrg.
