Allow user to use alternative implementations of compression tools.
For example, multi-threaded tools to speed up the build:
$ make GZIP=pigz BZIP2=pbzip2
Variable _GZIP is used internally instead of GZIP because the latter is
reserved by the tool. The use of GZIP in gzip tool is obsolete since
2015. However, alternative implementations (e.g., pigz) can still rely
on it.
The credit goes to @grsecurity.
As a sidenote, for multi-threaded lzma, xz compression one can use:
$ export XZ_OPT="--threads=0"
