Apparently the patches apply and it builds perfectly.

It was added by:

    Error out in git apply script on *BSD.

It could be a bug or missing feature in an old version of FreeBSD that was
fixed since. The original gzip imported from NetBSD in 2007 still works (with
FreeBSD 13's zlib), so maybe it was some zlib bug or missing feature, or
temporary gzip regression in some in-between version. Or older wine-staging
used gzip in a different way that broke it at that time.
