I didn't think anyone was still using SunOS 4.1.x.  You can probably make things
work by adding this function to one of the .c files:

        void *memmove(void *dest, void *src, size_t count)
        {
                returm memcpy(dest, src, count);
        }

I will work to fix this for 3.1.4.  Also, you may have better luck configuring
gawk for use without the I18N stuff:

        ./configure --disable-nls
        make

Although it looks like you managed to build intl/libintl.a, so maybe it's better
to leave well enough alone.

Good luck,

Arnold
