+descr
+ If we're on IRIX and we're using gcc, then, apparently, we need gawk,
+ as otherwise the awk invocation in libtool breaks complaining about
+ the ``Input record [...] too long'' near the end of the build process.
+ Oddly this does not occur using the mipspro compiler. Possible
+ reason: using gcc we have longer CFLAGS. Fix: add USE_GNU_TOOLS+=awk
+ iff IRIX and gcc. Problem: this might affect other packages as well.
+ One might consider depending libtool on gawk for IRIX.
