[bug-gawk] make check fails, argarray.in and argarray.in are the same file

[Stewart, Adam James]

Hi,

I'm trying to build gawk 4.1.4, but when I run `make check`, it crashes with:

$ make check

Making check in .

...

Making check in test

make[1]: Entering directory `/scratch/ajstewart/spack-stage/spack-stage-4PNvBA/gawk-4.1.4/test'

Any output from "cmp" is bad news, although some differences

in floating point values are probably benign -- in particular,

some systems may omit a leading zero and the floating point

precision may lead to slightly different output in a few cases.

Locale environment:

LC_ALL="C" LANG="C"

I've tried this on macOS with Clang and CentOS 6 with Intel and both have the same result.
