echo timestamp > s-options
nawk -f /home/jayk/src/gcc-4.5.0/gcc/opt-functions.awk -f
/home/jayk/src/gcc-4.5.0/gcc/opth-gen.awk \
               < optionlist > tmp-options.h
awk: There is a regular expression error.
        *?+ not preceded by valid expression
 The source line number is 69.
 The error context is
                        if (flags ~ >>>  "^{") <<< 
make[3]: *** [s-options-h] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/jayk/obj/gcc/gcc'


I'll try with gawk.. imho you should use less sh/awk/sed and more C, for
portability. Include mini-sh/awk/sed if needed.
