Simple answer: install fink's gawk package or rebuild autoconf2.13-legacy w/out gawk installed and then try rebuilding firefox8. I prefer the latter. Longer answer: this is an issue with autoconf2.13-legacy rather than firefox8. /sw/lib/autoconf2.13/bin/autoconf hardcodes the awk binary it first finds from mawk, gawk, nawk, and awk (in that order) during ./configure. Passing AWK=/usr/bin/awk to ./configure seems to force it to use the system awk. CC'ing fink-devel in case someone there knows why that is the wrong way to do this. firefoxN is the only package that I know that uses autoconf2.13-legacy, so it would be nice to have this fixed correctly w/out having to force gawk down the dependency chain.
