Summary: zcat vs. gunzip (host system portability)
Description:
As the man page for (g)zcat mentions, zcat is identical to gunzip -c,
except that zcat might not be installed on some systems (or might be the
old 'compress' zcat instead of the GNU zip gzcat). Darwin / MacOS is one
such.
Using gunzip -c should work everywhere. A patch is attached.

Can you please update your patch to take $(BR2_ZCAT) into account -- i.e
use that instead of hardcoding 'gunzip -c'?
TIA
diff -r16280:16281 looks like this, FYI:

I did that change for you, please test r16282 or later and report back.
