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

[Povolotsky, Alexander]

There is no Linux vendor for me - I am building from free "vanilla" Linux
2.6.8-rc4 distribution
for Power PC architecture - diskless board with mounted root file system.
My original cross-build environment is "cygwin". Now I have bult "native
compiler but not able to use 
due to "mess" I have with "rogue" commands (for which I seems to do not have
"true" working replacements).

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.
