gawk installs all manpages except those for the gawk and igawk
binaries into the 3am section.
You just need to configure the SECTION option in
/etc/manpath.config to give this section a lower precedence,
e.g.
SECTION 1 n l 8 3 2 3posix 3pm 3perl 3am 5 4 9 6 7
(alternatively, set the MANSECT environment variable).
Then "man fork" will give you fork(2)
and "man 3am fork" will give you the gawk fork manpage.
See the man(1) and manpath(5) manpages and the comments
in /etc/manpath.config for more info.
Perhaps a bug should be filed against the man package to include
the 3am section in /etc/manpath.config by default.
I suggest tagging this bug as wontfix.
