Hi.
I'm sending patch that makes it no-op and simplifies more the configure.ac
detection.
Tested with both ld.bfd and mold:
$ ./xgcc -B. ~/Programming/testcases/a.c -c -gz=zlib --save-temps --verbose
2>&1 | grep =zlib | grep -v COLLECT_GCC_OPTIONS
./cc1 -fpreprocessed a.i -quiet -dumpbase a.c -dumpbase-ext .c -mtune=generic
-march=x86-64 -gz=zlib -version -o a.s
./as -v --compress-debug-sections=zlib --64 -o a.o a.s
$ ./xgcc -B. ~/Programming/testcases/a.c -c -gz=zlib-gnu --save-temps --verbose
2>&1 | grep =zlib | grep -v COLLECT_GCC_OPTIONS
./cc1 -fpreprocessed a.i -quiet -dumpbase a.c -dumpbase-ext .c -mtune=generic
-march=x86-64 -gz=zlib-gnu -version -o a.s
Ready after it finishes tests?
Thanks,
Martin

Subject: [PATCH] remove -gz=zlib-gnu option value
The option value is legacy and probably not used at all,
thus ignore it.
gcc/ChangeLog:
* configure: Regenerate.
* configure.ac: Simplify to gcc_cv_ld_compress_debug={0,1}
and gcc_cv_as_compress_debug={0,1}.
* doc/invoke.texi: Document the removal.
* gcc.cc (LINK_COMPRESS_DEBUG_SPEC): Simplify and ignore
zlib-gnu.
(ASM_COMPRESS_DEBUG_SPEC): Likewise.
