If you are after an MSYS build of Gawk, you are in the wrong place:
that build is not officially supported by the Gawk developers. You
could probably find a newer MSYS Gawk in the MSYS2 project, but that
would require you to switch your entire MSYS installation to MSYS2, as
they are not really compatible.
