I've always used "GZIP_INFO= GZIP_PROG=".  Now I've tried a plain
"make install", and something goes wrong: if I open the installed
Emacs "runemacs -Q" and do "C-h r", the manual does not open.  The
*info* buffer is empty and the *Messages* buffer has:
  user-error: No such node or anchor: Top

I've just made a second install (from the same build), this time with
"GZIP_INFO= GZIP_PROG=".  In this installation the above problem does
not happen.
