Interesting. What version of gawk have you got? People build all the
time using gawk on Linux, and no one's ever reported such a failure that
I can recall. (FWIW, "gawk --version" reports 3.1.0 on my Linux box,
and I also build successfully with gawk 3.0.4 on my HPUX box.)

If you can initdb and run the regression tests successfully, then you
can be quite certain genbki worked.
