Hi,
BR2_ZCAT defaults to zcat, and it is basically always used to extract
files with .gz suffix. POSIX zcat [1] is specified to append .Z to
filenames that don't already have such suffix. This is also the
behaviour on Mac OS X. Therefore, it would make sense to use gunzip -c
or gzip -dc as a default instead.
