Dear List, apologies for the delay. This is just reassurance, confirming what others have reported. And, again, apologies for the broken threading.
I've just done a clean blfs-6.1-pre1 build, with no changes except (a) adding a few languages to the GCC build (the easy way of not losing Ada: always build it! The final build is of the full set of supported languages). (b) glibc-2.3.5 (the important one!). Note that everything in sight has been built with gcc-3.4.3. I no longer see the problem with gawk-3.1.4 which I had when I built glibc-2.3.5 with gcc-3.4.1 (irrespective of the gcc version used to build gawk). Evidently the problem is not exposed in this set-up, though I have applied none of the specific patches to gawk which are (also) supposed to eliminate the problem. Whether that means the problem has "gone away" or not I can't say.
