Hi folks,
while trying to run "gmake check" on HP-UX I noticed many awk issues.
the HP awk is incapable of processing all requests. I have supplied
AWK=gawk which did make it a bit better. As far as I can see $GAWK isn't
use throughout src/tests/. This fixes it for me:
> grep -r "awk '" . -l | xargs -I% sed -i "s#awk '#gawk '##" %
but I think think should either be solved by
> AWK=gawk ./configure
or
> AWK=gawk gmake check
