In the Chapter 5 instructions of Gawk, it says this:

"This bug leads to, e.g., Gettext testsuite failures."

There really is no reason to put the ", e.g., " in that sentence.
It should be removed. If it leads to failures, then specify it, we
shouldn't be beating around the bush with "for example".

To me, "for example" leads me to believe there are other things
the bug affects, and they should all be specified, or none should
be specified.

All gawk functions that depend on LC_MESSAGES don't take translations into account without the fix. Gettext testsuite tests only some of them. So the "e.g." is, IMHO, justified.
