Unbreak this under IRIX by not demanding gawk. This is a hack:
Apparently, for as of yet undetermined reasons, gawk as built on IRIX
under pkgsrc croaks on regular expressions including a
combination of alpha- and numerical matches, such as the rather
trivial /^[ \t]*[0-9]+/
Let's use the system's AWK (ie nawk) for this package to avoid
breaking hundreds of dependents.
Speculation: somehow the regular expression library used to build
gawk conflicts with the systems regular expression library or
some such.
Note: gawk from SGIs freeware collection depends on expat -- why
is that? Does that have anything to do with anything?
