Title:
  [FFe]: re-enable DFLTCC on s390x

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  Fix Released
Status in gzip package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gzip source package in Plucky:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  DFLTCC on s390x is a feature that was disabled to address an FTBFS in
  that code. This was done before feature freeze in [1].

  We later found out the real fix[2] for the FTBFS, and it's in an MP attached to this bug. The diff is twofold:
  - a revert of [1]
  - this change:

  PPA[3] with that fix, showing an s390x and amd64 builds.
  DEP8 tests will be run after the PPA publishes, but they are rather trivial.

  This feature was disabled by mistake, one could say, and is now being
  re-enabled. Still, it's a change in behavior post FF, for just s390x,
  and warrants an FFe request.
