+       If we're on IRIX and we're using gcc, then, apparently, we need gawk,
+       as otherwise the awk invocation in libtool breaks complaining about
+       the ``Input record [...] too long'' near the end of the build process.
+       Oddly this does not occur using the mipspro compiler.  Possible
+       reason: using gcc we have longer CFLAGS.  Fix:  add USE_GNU_TOOLS+=awk
+       iff IRIX and gcc.  Problem: this might affect other packages as well.
+       One might consider depending libtool on gawk for IRIX.
