[Bug libc/1908] New: gawk required despite claim in INSTALL about POSIX awk

[redhatbugzilla at happyjack dot org]

The awk program sysdeps/gnu/errlist-compat.awk uses the gawk-specific variable  
ARGIND causing a failure to run properly with nawk.  The INSTALL file mentions  
that POSIX awk is acceptable, and configure checks for awk, nawk and gawk --  
this isn't a show stopping problem by any means but it is a minor 
inconsistency.  This is filed against 2.3.6 but it also happens with today's 
(2005-11-21) CVS.
