The recent move of gnu stuff has caused some things to break.
Now, before you knee-jerk "Don't use absolute pathnames!", hear me out.
Up until recently, when gzexe was used, it itself inserted the above
absolute pathname into the file it produced. The disappearance of this
path now breaks every file produced by gzexe itself in the last n years.
I think it could reasonably be said that the user is blameless in this
case. It's also a problem that's easy to fix. Can you please add a
symlink so that the above file exists again?
