Interesting. awk is linked to gawk. That means there is an issue with
the man pages because, from my experience, any time a command has
multiple names, the man entry refers to all alternatives and you can
get to the same man entry using all alternatives like 'man awk' or man
gawk'.
The awk implementation available via cygwin's setup is gawk; awk is
just a symlink to gawk.
If you want another implementation, I think that you will be on your
own.
Just a heads-up: I expect that few, if any, people on this list find your
observation interesting, and fewer, if any, will think it an issue. (Or
is it the other way around?) Since you do, I'd suggest that you consider
looking over the documentation; doing so may save you a lot of "interesting"
surprises.
Good luck with your research on cygwin. :-)
Not to mention:
gawk --compat
