Thanks Bruce! > Upgrading gawk to 4.0.1 was the ticket. Thanks for the tip. Should the Host System Prerequisites page be updated to reflect this for gawk? I noticed that the INSTALL file in the glibc package says that 3.1.2 or higher is the requirement, but the difference was evident in my case (stock Ubuntu LTS used for nothing else but the LFS build, a few packages installed only to support the LFS build).
