Seems unlikely.  imgact_gzip only ever worked for aout, and has been broken
for that for many years.  Last time I looked (in 2017), the first failure in
imgact_gzip.c was in vm_mmap(exec_map, ...) last changed in r231885 in 2012.
This failed with error 11 (EDEADLK).

I use old aout utilities often, but don't want gzip (or zlib) in the kernel
for aout (or anything).
