I plan to apply the following patch:

diff --git a/lisp/tramp-sh.el b/lisp/tramp-sh.el
index 3f83697..19773e3 100644
--- a/lisp/tramp-sh.el
+++ b/lisp/tramp-sh.el
@@ -4436,7 +4436,8 @@ means discard it)."
     (if (stringp output) (concat " >" output) ""))))
 
 (defconst tramp-inline-compress-commands
-  '(("gzip" "gzip -d")
+  '(;; Suppress warnings about obsolete env variable GZIP.
+    ("env GZIP= gzip" "env GZIP= gzip -d")
     ("bzip2" "bzip2 -d")
     ("xz" "xz -d")
     ("compress" "compress -d"))

I don't see a regression with this. You could test it locally in your
environment (line numbers of the patch might be different to what you
see).

Best regards, Michael.
