More correctly, gzip -q won't complain about it. But without the -q
flag, you get:
$ gzip test.tar.gz
gzip: test.tar.gz already has .gz suffix -- unchanged
So I think it's not optimal to be (trying) to gzip *.gz files, even if
the -q flag keeps gzip from complaining.

That's what I thought, but you didn't explain yourself before.

This may work for gcc, but remember this is a *generic* build-script.
Some packages contain foreign-language man pages, which are stored as
/usr/share/man/de/man1, for example, and the above would not work in
such a case. There are a few such package in the distro already (I
noticed dpkg, man, and WindowMaker), and I have built other such
packages myself. Hence, I think using find is the only way to correctly
do this.
