Bug#708765: iceweasel: FTBFS with gawk

[Kurt Roeckx]

Package: iceweasel
Severity: serious

Hi,

With gawk installed in the chroot, I get the following error:
touch stamps/configure-xulrunner
awk: cmd. line:2: warning: escape sequence `\(' treated as plain `('
awk: cmd. line:2: warning: escape sequence `\)' treated as plain `)'
sh: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

The build also hangt at this point.

When removing gawk and only leaving mawk, it properly builds.
