We have several beta testers who keep us honest on exactly this point;
they use compilers that do not take //.  Personally I wish gcc could
be configured not to have these little non-ANSI-isms ...

Shouldn't be.  Did you use "gzip -9"?  For instance, I get these sorts
of numbers on a directory full of C source files:

$ ls -l z.*
-rw-r--r--   1 tgl        users       142048 Sep 25 20:40 z.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--   1 tgl        users       156389 Sep 25 20:41 z.zip
