I made a version bump, which fixed the issue on my amd64 box.
nawk-20121220-r1 is still failing for me...
The error is being raised at awkgram.y:308 : SYNTAX("illegal statement") Perhaps it makes a difference which virtual/yacc implementation is being used to build nawk? I am using bison-2.7

OK, this looks like a parallel make failure. If I build nawk-20121220-r1 with MAKEOPTS=-j1, it seems to run correctly. If I build with MAKEOPTS=-j8, it gives a syntax error on any input file.

I think, I found it. The tarball comes with an obsolete version of ytab.{c,h}, but actually it is build with yacc. I will patch the makefile.
fixed in nawk-20121220-r2.
