Comment (by jmroot):

 Gawk was already rev bumped for readline 8. The issue is that everything
 autoconf-based likes to use gawk (and ggrep and gsed) without being told
 to, so countless ports opportunistically use it (and so don't have a
 dependency on it which would cause it to be upgraded first) and break when
 it's broken, even though they build fine without it.
