That's a result of broken autofoo in gawk. The following HAVE_* macros 
are used in the *.c and *.h files, but the configure script doesn't set 
them in config.h:

HAVE_ISBLANK is missing
HAVE_LANGINFO_CODESET is missing
HAVE_LANGINFO_H is missing
HAVE_LC_MESSAGES is missing
HAVE_POPEN_H is missing

(stuff only in missing.d omitted)

Found by the following checker script:

ifnames `find . -name \*.c -o -name \*.h` | grep HAVE | \
         cut -d " " -f 1 >ifnames.hin
for a in `cat ifnames.hin` ; do if ! grep -q $a configh.in ; \
         then echo "$a is missing " ; fi ; done

For Matthew Burgess: the easiest workaround so far (without redoing 
autostuff) is to add the necessary #defines to the end of config.h 
manually after running ./configure:

cat >>config.h <<"EOF"
#define HAVE_ISBLANK 1
#define HAVE_LANGINFO_CODESET 1
#define HAVE_LANGINFO_H 1
#define HAVE_LC_MESSAGES 1
EOF
