Here is how I am building it and the whole context: |

emerge --oneshot gawk |

I did understand, that it is an extension, which provides additional |
| 25 |
commands for awk scripts and that the gentoo system makes use of them |
| 26 |
especially of it's own additions. |

1.) It would compile on Cygwin. I just made a mistake. |
| 31 |
2.) It depends on the missing kernel. I have to rewrite Gentoos |
| 32 |
filefuncs.c to work without a linux kernel. |
| 33 |
3.) I can go with the original extension. Portage does not really |
| 34 |
depend on Gentoos additions. |
| 35 |
4.) I have to adapt all awk scripts that make use of it. |
