This reminds me of something reported for buildroot - fixed
by following commit:

commit 2218dc85bef9bb1c9d27788e5ac69593144fe268
Author: Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>

    support/dependencies: add a check for a suitable gzip

    Recently, some hash mismatch have been reported, both by users as well
    as autobuilder failures, about tarballs generated from git repositories.

    This turned out to be caused by users having the 'gzip' command somehow
    aliased to 'pigz' (which stand for: parallel implementation of gzip,
    which takes advantage of multi-processor system to parallelise the
    compression).

    ...

If this is even remotely relevant for ptxdist I let you conclude.
I remember because I was hit by this when I toyed with buildroot
some time ago.

	Sam
