Re: Gawk 5.2.1 issues on macOS

[arnold]

Thanks for the report. I will revert the use of x86_64 on arm, and only
enable PMA on x86_64.

Can you tell me what the value of $host is on ppc64 and if -no_pie is
supported on that architecture? If so, I can enable pma on it also.

In the meantime, I have no problem with macports using configure --disable-pma
across the board. It's an experimental feature.

Thanks,

Arnold
