Cygwin Awk Incompatible With Apache Build

           Summary: Cygwin Awk Incompatible With Apache Build
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: HEAD
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Build
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jerrybaker@weirdness.com


The Cygwin installation installs awk.exe, but it is not a real executable, but 
rather a symlink pointing to gawk.exe. Since there aren't symlinks on Windows, 
all references to awk by the Apache build script fail. Changing the Cygwin 
gawk.exe to awk.exe seems to fix things.

Not sure how this could be addressed, but it should be mentioned in release 
notes or something.
