Comment 2 Justin Lecher (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-06-29 17:05:14 UTC
Please make sure the buildsystem calls gawk directly if needed and doesn't rely on the symlink to be correct
Comment 3 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2012-06-29 17:25:20 UTC
Seems strange that mawk would segfault.
Comment 4 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-06-29 17:53:07 UTC
yes, ignoring segfaults by forcing gawk isn't the right fix here.  the awk code looks fairly straight forward and not gawk specific.
Comment 5 Justin Lecher (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-06-29 18:43:24 UTC
So with gawk it works fine.
Comment 6 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-06-29 20:07:55 UTC
(In reply to comment #5)

so you've confirmed gawk is not buggy, but mawk is :)

what version of mawk are you using exactly ?  mawk-1.3.4_p20120627 was added to the tree yesterday.  if that crashes, you probably want to take the issue to the mawk mailing lists.
Comment 7 Justin Lecher (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-06-30 10:31:48 UTC
So latest version of mawk is the only one which makes it segf.
Comment 8 Christoph Junghans (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-10-12 07:48:41 UTC
Reported upstream.
Comment 9 Christoph Junghans (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-10-12 17:08:56 UTC
Reported and fixed hardcoded awk in grub:
<http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?37558>

So building of grub will work as long as gawk is installed and even if mawk is eselected.

Fix got merged upstream, so grub will use gawk instead of awk.

Bug in mawk is reported, but will not harm us anymore.
