Can you please have a look if virtual/awk is sufficient or if gawk is needed.
% pwd /dev/shm/portage/app-i18n/skk-jisyo-201101/work/skk-jisyo-201101 % nawk -f /usr/portage/app-i18n/skk-jisyo/files/unannotation.awk SKK-JISYO.L nawk: syntax error at source line 3 source file /usr/portage/app-i18n/skk-jisyo/files/unannotation.awk context is # >>> <<< missing } 2 extra )'s nawk: bailing out at source line 76 so, it seems it's depending on gawk.
