an alternative to your re.c patch would be adding
        #define gawk_mb_cur_max 1
to awk.h, if there is no mbs support.

This would also allow removing some instances of #ifdef MBS_SUPPORT
from various places.
See the patch attached to this mail.

I'm afraid Arnold (the gawk maintainer) will prefer your approach,
though.

I have tested my patch on GNU/Linux, with no errors, no warnings,
and all tests passed.  Patrick, could you please test my patch on
your platforms?  (Perhaps this increases my chances that Arnold
will accept it.)

NOTE: In any case, the "windows" part of Patrick's patch is still
needed (the part that patches file pc/gawkw32.def).

With kind regards,
        Stepan
