This patch addresses a build failure on HP-UX due to the vendor
awk(1) apparently treating a lone curly-brace as an incomplete
repetition operator:
[...]
awk -f /home/src/gcc-4.7.2/gcc/opt-functions.awk -f
/home/src/gcc-4.7.2/gcc/opt-read.awk \
-f /home/src/gcc-4.7.2/gcc/opth-gen.awk \
< optionlist > tmp-options.h
awk: There is a regular expression error.
?, *, or + not preceded by valid regular expression
The source line number is 90.
The error context is
if (flags ~ >>> "^{") <<<
gmake[3]: *** [s-options-h] Error 2
gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/gcc-build/gcc'
gmake[2]: *** [all-stage1-gcc] Error 2
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/gcc-build'
gmake[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/gcc-build'
gmake: *** [bootstrap-lean] Error 2
Fixed by escaping two curly-braces with backslashes.
Tested by getting past that point in the bootstrap successfully on
hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00; formal test case not applicable.
ChangeLog entry:
PR bootstrap/53607
* opt-functions.awk: Fix compatibility with HP-UX awk.
Patch: See attached.
