compress.c does not work as is with GNU C. I don't know if this is a
bug or a mysterious feature of ANSI C. The problem is that string
constants have the high order bit cleared. To get compress working
again, make the following change near line 126:
< char_type magic_header[] = { "\037\235" }; /* 1F 9D */
---
> char_type magic_header[] = { 0x1f, 0x9d, 0x00 }; /* 1F 9D */

It turns out that the problem really was a bug in GNU C in the 386
configuration. To fix, include this in the config.h file for gcc
and recompile gcc:
#undef ASM_OUTPUT_ASCII
#define ASM_OUTPUT_ASCII(asm_out_file, p, size) \
{int i=0; \
while (i < size) \
{ if (i%10 ==0) { if(i!=0)fprintf(asm_out_file,"\n"); \
fprintf(asm_out_file,ASM_BYTE); } \
else fprintf(asm_out_file,","); \
fprintf (asm_out_file, "0x%x",p[i++]);} \
fprintf(asm_out_file,"\n"); }
