It seems that amhello-1.0.tar.gz is already present in the tarball from
the distfiles directory, so it is not Portage responsible for
compressing in gz format. But it would be a good thing if Portage could
recompress that file in xz format instead. I don't know if this is
possible. So I won't file a bug report for this, as I think it could be
closed as invalid.
groff-1.21-r1 installs postscript files (which are not compressible) and
related files. So I don't think it's a good idea to file a report for
this, too.
So the only bug I decided to report is for libasyncns-0.8-r2:
