[PATCH] Document awk requirements

From: Luca Tettamanti
Date: Mon Dec 14 2009 - 16:34:25 EST


Hello,
current -git kernel fails to build with this error message:

GEN arch/x86/lib/inat-tables.c
Error: Your awk doesn't support charactor-class.

mawk is installed; it appears that gawk is required, so:
---
Gnu awk is required for generating arch/x86/lib/inat-tables.c
