[Xen-devel] [PATCH] linux-2.6.18-xen.hg: check that awk supports 'gensub' command

[Michael Abd-El-Malek <mabdelmalek@xxxxxxx>]

The linux-2.6.18-xen.hg/scripts/Makefile.xen.awk script depends on the 
GNU AWK-specific function "gensub".  If another awk is used (e.g., 
Debian installs mawk by default), the lack of gensub trickles down to 
cause the -xen.c files to not be compiled.  This was time-consuming to 
track.  So we should check that the awk program supports 'gensub'.
