I've got the same Problem... :-(
I confirm it, however I use a x86 system, a Core 2 Duo with march=nocona on a i686 chost.
Created attachment 149862 [details, diff] Patch to potentially fix compilation issue Following into this a little more, it seems that the file magic/Magdir/compress has an error -- part of a file description is commented out. I'm not sure if this was just a typo or was intentionally commented out and the rest left as-is. Anyway, the attached patch uncomments that line and this allows file to be built. I can also confirm that it correctly seems to recognise compressed files (.Z) and gzipped files. I've sent this patch upstream. I'll summarise any response here.
Laurence's patch appears in 4.25 which is now in the tree. Marking fix.
