Re: aclocal reports errors when building gawk 3.1.0

[Aharon Robbins]

It is probably best to delete the duplicate copies in your
version of gawk and let it use the system version of the gettext
macros.

Before you do that, verify that gawk's are not newer than
the system version.  Otherwise, maybe move the gawk ones
over the system ones.
