Comment:

 As I said in another ticket today, the problem is that standard configure
 scripts automatically check for common utilities like gawk which are then
 used during the build process. So when trying to build clisp, its
 configure script finds the already-installed broken copy of gawk, and
 tries to use it during the build, which fails. The solution is to
 deactivate gawk, then upgrade gawk, before trying to build any ports with
 such configure scripts.

 {{{
 sudo port -f deactivate gawk
 sudo port clean gawk
 sudo port -u upgrade gawk
 }}}
