>Description:
	
	awka 0.7.5 (awk to c converter) has a bug in the system function. Every system() call causes an error.
	(ofcourse awk system() not c system() call)

>How-To-Repeat:
	
	Write an awk script with system("echo 'Hello Wourld!'") and compile it with awka.
	When starting the compiled binary you get :
		Could not execute process in call to system(echo 'Hello World!')
>Fix:
	
	Update awka to 0.7.5
