manual page gawk.1 contains incorrect formatting codes. After saying
"--   Signal the end of options" groff formatting codes cause each
paragraph to be without empty line as paragraph separators.

Here is a patch to fix this:

 Signal the end of options. This is useful to allow further arguments to the
 \*(AK program itself to start with a \*(lq\-\*(rq.
 This provides consistency with the argument parsing convention used
