It is maintained in git from savannah.gnu.org. Please execute ./bootstrap.sh before invoking the usual incantaton of `./configure && make && make check'. This version of bootstrap.sh should work OK. Bug reports should be sent to bug-gawk@gnu.org. Note that posting in comp.lang.awk is generally a bad idea, no matter what the purpose, but especially if you wish to report a gawk bug. Use the above email address. Really. Thanks, Arnold Robbins Gawk Maintainer
