I think this is the MSYS Make, not what I call ``the MinGW Make''.
The latter is produced by building the original Make 3.81 sources with
the MinGW compiler via the build_w32.bat batch file included in the
source tarball.  If you look in the official Make sources, you will
not find any code that changes /GZ into something else; in fact, the
native Windows build doesn't change anything in the command-line
options of the command being invoked, IIRC.
