Here are SHA1 and SHA256 checksums:

m5qV1o/cuTaEmk1vrai/hobN31i5smycQontDJKneQc gzip-1.11.tar.xz
The SHA256 checksum is base64 encoded, instead of the
hexadecimal encoding that most checksum tools default to.
[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:
gpg --verify gzip-1.11.tar.gz.sig
If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 7FD9FCCB000BEEEE
and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.
This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
Autoconf 2.71
Automake 1.16d
Gnulib v0.1-4886-g93280a4bd
