Re: Compiling gawk on Tandem NSK/OSS

[Aharon Robbins]

Gawk does not use gnulib.  Nor is it likely to in the near future.

I would appreciate it if a patch could be supplied for tandem based on
what's in the tandem directory. In particular, if whatever command script
is used to do the compiling can add the _TANDEM_SOURCE and so on flags,
instead of their having to be added to the source files. 

Thanks,

Arnold
