Building glibc for LFS from Ubuntu by replacing awk

If you run into the following error trying to build LFS from a Ubuntu installation:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/mnt/lfs/sources/glibc-build/Versions.all', needed by `/mnt/lfs/sources/glibc-build/abi-versions.h'. Stop.
The mawk utility installed with Ubuntu, and symlinked to /usr/bin/awk by default does not properly handle the regular expressions in this package. Perform the following commands:
# apt-get install gawk
# rm -rf /usr/bin/{m}awk
# ln -snf /usr/bin/gawk /usr/bin/awk
Then you’re just a make clean; ./configure –obnoxious-dash-commands; make; make install away from success.
My last Linux Experiment posts focused on running Linux From Scratch (x86_64).
I currently run a mix of Windows, OS X and Linux systems for both work and personal use.
For Linux, I prefer Ubuntu LTS releases without Unity and still keep Windows 7 around for gaming.
