crashes

Component:  ports      |    Version:  2.5.4
 Keywords:  leopard    |       Port:  libxml2
-----------------------+---------------------
 When configuring `libxml2` `gawk` is used to createing `libxml2.spec`.
 Before `readline` was updated, on which `gawk` depends. So upon invocation
 it crashes:

 {{{
 :info:configure dyld: Library not loaded:
 /opt/local/lib/libreadline.7.dylib
 :info:configure   Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/gawk
 :info:configure   Reason: image not found
 :info:configure ./config.status: line 1386: 67759 Done

 :info:configure      67761 Trace/BPT trap          | $AWK -f
 "$ac_tmp/subs.awk" > $ac_tmp/out
 :info:configure config.status: error: could not create libxml2.spec
 }}}

 The port seems to need a dependency to `gawk`…
