Ok, would be nice to make it disappear anyway at some point,

2. configure: error: /usr/bin/gawk, awk, tar or gunzip is a cygwin symlink!

I see, ok. To be clear awk is not a symlink as it currently stands, and
gawk has a non standard name:

$ ls -al /usr/bin | grep awk
-rwxr-xr-x    1 Admin      None  605203 Feb 27  2018 awk.exe
-rwxr-xr-x    1 Admin      None  605203 Apr 23  2018 gawk-4.2.1.exe

So, should I go ahead and delete awk.exe and rename gawk-4.2.1.exe to
awk.exe ?
