Yeah,  kdelibs needs gawk on Solaris to handle the pkgsrc processing itself as 
the system awk can't handle (the length of) some of the lines that pkgsrc 
produces hence the above, but adding the above causes it to try and use gawk 
before its checked and handled the package dependency so if you don't already 
have the gawk package installed it craps out, if it is installed then it 
builds.  There is an open PR about this but I don't have any ideas for a fix.
