Dan Peebles 0419452113 Fix Darwin stdenv to work on 10.13
The main changes are in libSystem, which lost the coretls component in 10.13
and some hardening changes that quietly crash any program that uses %n in
a non-constant format string, so we've needed to patch a lot of programs that
use gnulib.

longDescription =
''gzip (GNU zip) is a popular data compression program written by
Jean-loup Gailly for the GNU project. Mark Adler wrote the
decompression part.
We developed this program as a replacement for compress because of
the Unisys and IBM patents covering the LZW algorithm used by
compress. These patents made it impossible for us to use compress,
and we needed a replacement. The superior compression ratio of gzip
is just a bonus.
