gawk error when compiling libgpg-error in crossdev armv7a environment

I have gentoo ~amd64 installed and I'm trying to create a crossdev environment for armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi.

my CFLAGS are `CCFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer".

when I try to compile the base system, it tries to compile libgpg-error and fails with:

gawk: fatal: cannot use gawk builtin `namespace' as variable

how do I resolve this to continue and build my crossdev environment ?

I tried downgrading gawk from 5 to 4 but the results are the same.

thanks

Solution

  • Same problem on my side:

    "namespace" name is not acceptable by gawk-5.0

    try:

    sed -i                                                  \
  -e "s/namespace/varerrno/g"                           \
  src/{Makefile.am,mkstrtable.awk}

    Before doing ./autogen.sh or/and ./configure

    Hoping that help.
