I've got the same Problem... :-(

[Comment 2 Bruno Laturner Lemes 2008-04-10 21:54:41 UTC]

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.

[Comment 4 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2008-07-17 20:07:19 UTC]

Laurence's patch appears in 4.25 which is now in the tree. Marking fix.
