This isn't really a gawk problem - something is screwed up with the packages on
your system. The short answer is that

        sudo apt-get install libsigsegv2

should install the missing library and let gawk work.

But note that the gawk on Ubuntu 12.04 is fairly old; you might want to download
the latest source and build from scratch.

HTH,
