[Bug bootstrap/30739] New: awk Prerequisite is not documented

[pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org]

After getting a private email about what caused PR 29049 for real, I noticed
that the prerequisite for awk was not documented in
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html

Yes it is a standard UNIX tool but there are some versions of GNU awk which are
broken.

Confirmed.

Patch at <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-06/msg00914.html>.
If anybody remembers the broken GNU awk version, we could mention that in the
manual.
