No, the issue is that gzip and tar are not required by configure (it 
will proceed if they are not found), but they are currently required by 
meson.build (it will error if they are not found).

They are used in two different areas.  One is for "make dist", but that 
doesn't affect meson anyway.

The other is various test suites.  The test suites are already set up to 
skip tests when gzip and tar are not found.
