Sources were updated via CVSup/CSup?  You're doing 'make buildworld',
aren't you? What is the output of the 'for i in *; do grep '$FreeBSD'
"$i"; md5 "$i"; done' spawned in the /usr/src/share/mk?  The output
of 'uname -a' is?

Is it really "gzip cn", not the "gzip -cn"?  I guess you had stripped
some output from make, showing only the relevant commands or just
retyped something from the screen?

Can you try to do
  'make -C /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo -m /usr/src/share/mk clean all'?
Is the problem still persists?  If yes, what is the output of the
'make -C /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo -m /usr/src/share/mk -VCOMPRESS_CMD'?

CVSup'ped RELENG_7, spawned buildworld.  Will try to reproduce your
case.
