OK, updated patch:

===

x86: Don't use POSIX character classes in gen-insn-attr-x86.awk

Not all awk implementations (including the default awk in Ubuntu 9.10)
support POSIX character classes.  Since x86-opcode-map.txt is plain
ASCII, we can just use explicit ranges for lower case, alphabetic, and
alphanumeric characters instead.  We set LC_ALL=C when invoking awk so
that ASCII ranges are never misinterpreted.

I verified that the Debian version of mawk, which doesn't have POSIX
character set suport, generates the byte-for-byte the same inat-tables.c
after this patch as gawk did on an unpatched kernel.
