4If you use GCC 4.0 under Mac OS X to compile gawk with optimization,
5AND multibyte support is *disabled*, the `ignrcas2' test fails. This is

7
8All the other tests pass.

10Happily, the default is for the multibyte support to be enabled, so all
11the tests pass by defualt.

19is apparently otherwise benign.

21Gawk uses the system's mktime(3) routine, even though Autoconf thinks
22it's broken, so Caveat Emptor.

24If you ask me about either of these I will fuss at you for not having
25done your homework.
