All due to a bug in awk on ia64-hpux11.23. Using gawk allows the build to
complete. Here is a selection of a diff from options.c generated with awk and
gawk:
   { "-W",
     "This switch is deprecated; use -Wextra instead",
-    N_OPTS, 1, 0,
+    N_OPTS, 1, -1,
     CL_COMMON | CL_REJECT_NEGATIVE,
     0, CLVC_BOOLEAN, 0 },
