No, the problem is that gawk-3.1.1/intl/Makefile.in says this:

INCLUDES = -I.. -I. -I$(top_srcdir)/intl

and this include path does not see custom.h when the build directory
differs from the source directory.

To work around the problem, configure and build in the source directory.
I have tested this on Solaris 7 (sparc) with gcc.


My suggestion for fixing the bug is for Gawk to not ship the intl
directory at all, e.g. with the following patch.  This is what most
other gettext-using packages are doing these days.
