Of course I do, so something is else is going on.

OK, make clean apparently leaves config.cache alone, so it had to 
have been inserted there when I initially ran it before I had 
upgraded awk, which got placed in /usr/local/bin/awk.

I can find it only in /usr/local/include.

Perhaps the INSTALL doc itself should mention about potential 
compiling problems with NLS and even consider having it disabled by 
default.

It is RedHat 7.1, but modified much over the years.
