Comment:

 Virtually every autoconf-based build system will try to use gawk if it is
 present. There is not a true dependency, as it will work if gawk is
 uninstalled. The workaround is to upgrade gawk first. See the many
 previous tickets where this happened every time one of gawk or grep or
 gsed's dependencies was updated.
