It is supposed to work if you use GNU make (as Jonas Olsson did), but
it fails due to the gettext problems that I mentioned in
<http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-gnu-utils/2002-October/003179.html>.

If you install just the following small patch to gawk 3.1.1 (extracted
from the above message), then the following sequence of commands
worked for me on Solaris 8 (sparc) with GCC 3.2.

   mkdir subdir
   cd subdir
   sh ../configure --disable-nls
   gmake
   gmake check

In this case "gmake" is /opt/sfw/bin/gmake, which Sun supplies on its
companion CD.

        * awk.h: Include locale.h before gettext.h, to avoid problem
        on Solaris 8 + GCC 3.2.
