Summary: chapter 6-gawk leaves us with statically linked /usr/bin/gawk-3.1.0chapter 6-gawk installs both /usr/bin/gawk and /usr/bin/gawk-<version>

Rediscuss on lfs-dev: remove gawk-<version> or not (now it's just part of the regular installation)

Let's leave it, better not remove too many standard installed files. Maybe add a note to the installation page so users are aware of it, and leave it at that.

root@marvin:/usr/bin# ls -i gawk* 14072 gawk 14072 gawk-3.1.1

gawk-<version> is a hardlink to gawk. I don't see a problem with this. In fact, there are a few other packages which do this same thing, it's common. So, close this bug?
