I'm sorry, is this *not* a "fails to build in standard Debian build
environment" problem. This is a "fails to build in non-standard
environment in which awk is mawk instead of gawk" issue.
If it were the former, I the severity of "serious" would be
reasonable, and I would upload a fix immediately.
Instead I will make the (trivial) fix in CVS, but will include it in
the next upload which goes up for some other reason, and downgrade the
bug report in the meantime. Do let me know if this is a problem for
some reason.
(It would also be nice if you would be so kind as to distinguish these
"relies on standard Debian stuff" bugs from actual serious build
problems. I'm not saying these shouldn't be addressed; just that it
is not a "serious" bug and shouldn't be treated as one.)
Oh, and thanks for running these tests - they are indeed useful in
helping to flush gratuitous reliance on non-POSIX features.
