Re: Question (bug ?) - how to build gawk for Linux on PowerPC ? What are pre-requisites to be prior installed ?

[Aharon Robbins]

I think Bob has identified it.  Try to figure out why the native
build isn't working. After all, the linux vendor had to be able
to do it.

I myself don't have a Linux/PPC system, nor access to one, so
I can't help you out otherwise.  Sorry.
