Replying to [comment:3 cal@…]:
> Can we instead prevent gawk from linking with gmp and mpfr and avoid the
dependency? I really don't think we need arbitrary precision arithmetics
in gawk and it adds a dependency a lot of people will have to install.
How about making it a variant? I agree that since gawk is usually one of
the first ports that I install on a new install of MacPorts, I would also
prefer that its dependency list be kept short, but only for the first time
that I install it. After I have my normal list of ports installed, it
might be nice to then be able to experiment with gawk's gmp/mpfr support
by installing it with a new variant.
