   Maybe adding "SPECIAL gzip srcdir gnu/usr.bin/gzip" is
   the right fix (for now), but anyway some ports already
   use distrib/utils/x_gzip for installation binaries.

given what's below, this seems the right course for now.
   
   (BTW, acording to isaki@netbsd, sysinst now uses gzip -l
    but it fails with the "small" x_gzip.)


ah.  then i *do* need to add --list support.  ugh.
