I was using GNU Awk 3.0.4.  After upgrading to GNU Awk 3.1.2,
problems seem to go away with that, and the bootstrap
continues!  Thank you very much.

3.0.4 is the stock awk that comes with current release
MSYS for MinGW.

Perhaps there should be some kind of check somewhere for
a gawk of sufficient vintage?  Its a little disturbing to
me that GCC now has such a strict dependency on things
like gawk..  it seems like this would be a problem for
a lot of others besides myself ;\

Also, perhaps this should be documented somewhere a little
more obvious?

Thanks a ton,

Aaron
