I won't have time to look at this until this weekend.
I will respond with at least an explanation sometime this weekend.

Ah, line numbers! I didn't notice that with older "configure" scripts

Removing useless blanks, replacing the quadrigraphs, and simulating
$LINENO.

If you concentrate the measure on this very script, the performance
penalty is frightening:
It certainly is. This is a performance bug in mawk.
I observed the bug in mawk 1.3.3.

Hi!
According to the documentation, mawk is preferred over gawk because it
is faster. Here's an interesting phenomenon:
| ~/src/fileutils % time AWK=mawk ~ace/autoconf -m ~ace
| 16,40s user 0,26s system 95% cpu 17,512 total
| ~/src/fileutils % time AWK=gawk ~ace/autoconf -m ~ace
| 7,68s user
