For fun I gave it a go, but we can't get past the configure:

cpu% cd /mnt/term/home/moody/downloads/gawk-5.3.2
cpu% ape/psh
$ ./configure
usage: ls [-ACFHLRUacdflprstu1] [file ...]
%s\n$
$

This is not too unusual, autotools plays very poorly with ape.
In the past for other port work I tend to just start from scratch with a
mkfile and use pcc as the $CC.


Thanks,
Jacob
