Hi,
I found myself on a system where the system awk wasn't gawk. sigh. Since config/known-dwarf.awk uses some GNU extensions I was a little puzzled for some time why things were failing (in maintainer-mode). Instead of trying to make this work on all awk versions out there I think we should just require running gawk on it instead. Like is already done for some other scripts in elfutils. Unless someone complains this is wrong I would like to install the attached patch to make it so.
Thanks,
Mark

No, that's the intention. If ever a script doesn't use gawk or bash (and awk of sh instead) this is just habit and laziness from my side.
