No clue why. Host system requirements require gawk to be installed. With debian based systems bash should be the default shell, too. In chapter 5 glibc will fail to build if gawk is not installed. For debian based systems I suggest this, for the last few years: sudo apt-get install build-essential m4 bison texinfo gawk && sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash Maybe this will help.
