stumbling upon the following issue entry of original-mawk on github:
https://github.com/ThomasDickey/original-mawk/issues/49

I enabled the forced-sandbox use-flag to harden the system from arbitrary code injection in awk-scripts, preventing easy access to system()

This has been the first failing package due to that change.

If it's easy to fix, it should be considered to set forced-sandbox for gawk in the future.

hardened@: please Cc x11@ when you have a proposed fix.
Comment 2 Magnus Granberg gentoo-dev 2018-08-31 01:13:11 UTC
emerge --info and buildlog
Xorg-server should be fixed upstream
Comment 3 Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2018-08-31 08:16:48 UTC
Maybe you misunderstood me. I have no idea what is going on in this bug and I'm not going to spend the time to figure it out. If hardened@ cares to solve the bug and it requires fixing xorg-server, then feel free to Cc x11@.

Until then, leave us out.
