I like Kamil's fix [1] for the issue 'Extra zero-length file created
after 7.42.0 appears to have broken -z option' [2]. A quote from the
reporter:

> New behavior also makes it not possible to use |-z| either by
checking the result code (always 0) or the existence of the output
(always created).

That's significant enough that it could break scripts. I notice you said
you only want fixes for the two build problems but I'd pick fixes like
that as well.
