You say it is mandatory on a Gentoo system, because there are awk

How are you building it? It needs special commands because it needs to
become a shared object, not an executable.
Can anybody explain the Gentoo handling of filefuncs in the gawk package?

gawk provides dynamic extension modules. This is explained here:
The gawk source distribution comes with a number of such extensions in the
(doh) extensions/ directory. filefuncs.c is such one extension, which
demonstrate how to add stat() and chdir() capabilities to awk.
The file is compiled into a .so file, which is then referenced from within
gawk to
I have a second issue. When compiling gawk on Cygwin, where is no
