I don't really see that gawk as currently using things is not GCS
conforming.
I think we need to clear out what version of the GCS we should refer
to before continuing this.
If it is the one I quoted (August 2003 or so), then I think it is
quite clear that datadir shouldn't have a subdirectiry added, if it is
from January 2005, then gawk should be modified to use datarootdir or
whatever.
I also don't see that practically speaking your changes make a
difference in what directories get used/removed, except for the
rename from `awk' to `gawk'. As gawk is `awk' on a GNU system, I
think the rename is incorrect.
That rename was a minor accident (I always write gawk, not awk). But
gawk is installed as gawk on all GNU variants, awk is just a symlink
for scripts that already use it.
So, I don't see that I really need to apply this patch. Is there
some real-world situation where the current code doesn't work and
the version as you've patched it does? If so, I'd like to hear the
details.
See my previous mail to Eli.
