Thanks! I had forgotten to ./bootstrap, especially after I make
distclean a few times.

So the results are that I'm able to make install on one machine but
another still fails on another two:

# make install
Making install in .
 ./install-sh -c -d '/usr/local/bin'
  ./install-sh -c gawk '/usr/local/bin'
make 'CFLAGS=-g -O2 -DNDEBUG' 'LDFLAGS=-Wl,-export-dynamic' install-exec-hook
(cd /usr/local/bin;  name=`echo gawk | sed 's,x,x,'` ;  ln ${name}
gawk-4.1.60 2>/dev/null ;  if [ ! -f awk ];  then    ln -s ${name}
awk;  fi; exit 0)
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[3]: stopped in /usr/home/sean/bin/gawk
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[2]: stopped in /usr/home/sean/bin/gawk
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[1]: stopped in /usr/home/sean/bin/gawk
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/home/sean/bin/gawk



Seems like it maybe a local issue, but I have no idea what or why.

I do see a few warnings while building, likely unrelated to my problem:
