Comment (by JeremyRand):

 Patch at https://notabug.org/JeremyRand/rbm/src/gzip-timestamps , Git
 commit hash `ee2d4f2e53277055105dbc85832ed3ebeeb45f45`.

 It does occur to me that this patch will replace whatever the pre-existing
 value of `GZIP` was, which might conceivably cause problems for some
 users.  Would it be better to replace `GZIP="--no-name"` with `GZIP="--no-
 name ${GZIP}"`?
