Curious, it doesn't even look like that binary is hooked into the build
process at all on 9.0-RELEASE.

It's manpage indicates that it is unsuitable for loader(8) use, and that
just running gzip(1) on the kernel file is sufficient; a fact to which I
can attest, since I compress everything in /boot/kernel to save space on
my flashcard installs, and the loader has no problem decompressing it on
the fly.

kldload(8), on the other hand, still seems to be incapable of handling
gzipped klds.
