 On Leopard, when upgrading to gawk @4.1.1 from a previous version, this
 error occurs during destroot:

 {{{

 }}}

 The Makefile erroneously assumes it has permission to alter files in the
 prefix, but MacPorts prohibits that; it may only alter files in the
 workpath.

 This problem probably affects all users with default settings on Mountain
 Lion and earlier. I didn't see this problem on my Mavericks system when
 updating the port, because the Makefile only tries to remove .la files,
 and MacPorts base by default automatically removes all .la files after
 destroot on Mavericks and later, so there was nothing for the Makefile to
 remove.

 The buildbots didn't see the problem because they never do upgrades; they
 always do fresh installs with no existing ports installed.
