Nevermind. I hacked MirBSD compress to omit the BSD compress method (so it only does gzip), and replaced a few more things, and got a working gzip/gunzip under BSD licence.
If there is any interest in the klibc side to include that, be my guest. Sizes are nice, too (dynamically linked): tglase@tglase:~/mbsd/src/usr.bin/compress $ size /usr/lib/klibc/bin/gzip obj/compress text data bss dec hex filename 25828 3016 316552 345396 54534 /usr/lib/klibc/bin/gzip 18802 0 4208 23010 59e2 obj/compress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to klibc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1358762 Title: Included gzip 1.2.4 has several vulnerabilities Status in “klibc” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The included gzip version is quite old (version 1.2.4) and has several security vulnerabilities. Check http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/search- results?adv_search=true&cves=on&cpe_version=cpe:/a:gnu:gzip:1.2.4 for example. I explicitly checked for CVE-2001-1228, which was not fixed by a patch in the klibc package, so I assume the other vulnerabilities are not fixed either. I think it would be a good idea to update the included gzip to a current version.
