- I grabbed GNU awk (gawk) from ftp.uu.net and got it up and running
- with GCC 2.0. I had some problems with bugs in ixemul.library that
- have since been fixed (thanks Markus :-). At last look, I was still
- having some problems running some of the test programs that got
- distributed with gawk. I don't remember if I found the problem or
- not (sorry, I've been busy being a new dad :-). I seem to remember
- I was fiddling with the pearls suite which does a lot of
- math/recursion/looping. Now that I think of it, I think my problem had
- something to do with libm.a. I switched libraries and the problems went away.
- I don't know if I switched to the native logic in ixemul or the compiled
- version of BSD libm.a though.
-
- Anyhow, I can say it works. I can say it is slow too. It also is a
- very large executable when it finally is built. But then this is
- a GNU program and they tend to be big.
