Configure.ac does automagic detection of compressors at build time and enables the code required to use the compressors based on that. If someone installs a new compressor and changes PORTAGE_COMPRESS We should prepare, integrate and upstream a patch to fix this. I'll attach configure.ac from man-db-2.9.0 to illustrate the problem. Reproducible: Always
