Sorry for not mentioning it, but I actually tested only the final 6.0
release.  And a closer look shows that the 20150715 patchlevel actually
builds with GCC 5.

This is the problem, I now get

PRG=gcc -E -g -O2 -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security 
--param max-inline-insns-single=1200

i.e. the whole bag of "$(CPP) $(CPPFLAGS)" from ncurses/Makefile, rather
than just PRG=gcc as it's supposed to be.  This might be a bug in
Debian's version of mawk, since it works with gawk.

Since "$PRG" is not found, there is a problem.
