Please note that the above link did not work for me, but the other bz2
one did.

I ran `configure -C && make all check' without problems on:
- i386-unknown-freebsd6.2
- powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.3.0
- ia64-hp-hpux11.23
- i386-unknown-linux-gnu

Issues I saw on other systems when building as above without further
flags, typically a native compiler:

- sparc-sun-solaris2.6
mtchi18n
../../gawk-3.1.5h/test/mtchi18n.ok _mtchi18n differ: char 1, line 1

- mips-sgi-irix6.5
I needed to use gmake instead of make for a VPATH build.
(This is probably an Automake issue; anyway native make's VPATH support
is unusable, so this is hardly surprising.)

- hppa2.0-hp-hpux10.20

This looks like a gnulib issue compiler flags I have missed out on?
Maybe it's fixed since in gnulib?


Sorry, I haven't been able to investigate any further yet.
Pointers appreciated as to what to look at.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
