Hello.

Thank you for the bug report.

In the future, please use the gawkbug script to send reports,
as it includes important information. Please also see

What system are you using? (OS, version, architecture and compiler)

How did you compile gawk?

The output from this is very verbose, making it difficult to see
actual problems. It would be better to just use `make check'.

This seems to be one issue, but probably not important.

This appears to be what concerns you. This means that the persistent
memory test failed for some reason.  If you don't intend to use that
feature, then you can ignore the failure, everything else is working fine.

Otherwise, I need more information about your system before attempting
to deal with this.

Thanks,
