kbuild: invoke generate_builtin_ranges.awk using gawk explicitly

[PATCH] kbuild: invoke generate_builtin_ranges.awk using gawk explicitly

Posted by Kris Van Hees 2 months, 2 weeks ago

The gawk utility might be installed in different locations depending
on the distributions, etc.  That means that the locations in the
shebang at the beginning of the generate_builtin_ranges.awk script
may not be correct, causing an error.

Use "gawk -f <script> <args>" instead from the Makefile.vmlinux, so
the $PATH will be used to locate gawk appropriately.

I squashed this to v10 2/4.
Thanks!
