Hi. A gawk user recently called my attention to:
https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/tree/master/gawk > The patch file there is named gawk-4.2.1-msysize.patch. The patches mainly > seem to add an "msys*" option in several build scripts just after the > "cygwin*" system identity alternatives. I have adapted the patches for gawk's test/Makefile.am and will be pushing shortly. Can we get the changes for compile, config.guess, config.rpath, and ar-lib integrated directly into GNULIB, so that I can then pull them from upstream? They may be small enough that you don't need paperwork. I'm cc-ing Alexey Pawlow, the author of the changes. Thanks! Arnold
