   Hello,

   In gcc receipt one can read

   # We need gawk since busybox awk is not sufficient. We have BUILD_DEPENDS
# for cookutils that are not used by tazwok/cook-toolchain since it installs
# and uses its own copy.

   As gawk is not installed by default in SliTaz and tazdev gen-chroot doesn't install it in the chroot, wouldn't gawk appear in the build depends? In gcc receipt:
   BUILD_DEPENDS="mpc-library mpfr-dev gmp-dev elfutils-dev"

   And I don't understand what means: "We have BUILD_DEPENDS for cookutils that are not used by tazwok/cook-toolchain since it installs and uses its own copy.

   Research the history of the gcc/receipt

   Christopher Lincoln added gawk BUILD_DEPENDS with the gawk comment here:
   https://hg.slitaz.org/wok/diff/6cbf526b5cc3/gcc/receipt

   Christopher Rogers removed gawk but left the gawk comment here:
   https://hg.slitaz.org/wok/diff/e2da6d423e51/gcc/receipt

   If a comment is no longer relevant it should be removed to prevent confusion.
   Most distributions and software projects have quality assurance that requires changes to be reviewed by another person with knowledge and authority before they are committed.

   Hello mojo,

   Thank you for the clarification.
   If nobody complains about gcc since 2011 I guess cook works fine without gawk...
   And probably busybox has change since too.
