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?
