            Bug ID: 25453
           Summary: Require gawk at configure time
           Product: poke
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: default
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: jose.marchesi at oracle dot com
                CC: poke-devel at gnu dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

At this point RAS (poke's retarded assembler) requires GNU Awk, since
it uses gensub extensively.  This leads to built-time errors like this
when built with lesser awk implementations:

srcdir=../../src ../../src/ras ../../src/pkl-gen.pks > pkl-gen.pkc
awk: ../../src/ras: line 447: syntax error at or near ,
awk: ../../src/ras: line 448: syntax error at or near ,
awk: ../../src/ras: line 449: syntax error at or near ,
awk: ../../src/ras: line 479: syntax error at or near :
awk: ../../src/ras: line 482: syntax error at or near :

We need to make sure gawk is installed and available at configure
time, emitting a suitable error message to the user.
