Ah, now I understand an earlier bug report by Keith Thompson.
I'll CC: this email to him.

I installed the following patch.  Can you please verify that it fixes
your problem?

Thanks.

        * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable, GZIP_ENV): Compute within the
        shell, not within 'make', so that 'make' by an ordinary builder
        (using GNU make) does not worry about configuring gzip.  This also
        works around a bug reported independently by Keith Thompson and by
        Georg Schwarz, whereby gzip 1.2.4 --help would output usage on
        stderr rather than stdout, messing up the build logs.
