Actually, no, but thanks for trying. :-) GZIPCMD is normally defined in
/usr/share/mk/bsd.doc.mk and bsd.info.mk. For some reason, your versions of
those files must be out of date - but it's possible that there is a chicken
and egg problem caused by 'make' reading these on startup. You see, it used
to be just "GZIP" in the previous version of these files and this was
changed recently to GZIPCMD. Jordan reported a similar problem, but it
disappeared after the proper bsd.*.mk files were installed and he re-did
his 'make world'.

The segfault was caused by a bug in the shell not properly dealing with
null commands in a pipe. When Jordan had this problem I debugged the shell
and fixed the bug...so you'll never see THIS one again. :-)
Anyway, now that you have proper bsd.*.mk files, try to 'make world' again;
I think the problem will be gone.
