[PATCH] kbuild: invoke generate_builtin_ranges.awk using gawk explicitly

From: Kris Van Hees
Date: Thu Sep 12 2024 - 13:17:18 EST


The gawk utility might be installed in different locations depending
on the distributions, etc. That means that the locations in the
shebang at the beginning of the generate_builtin_ranges.awk script
may not be correct, causing an error.

Use "gawk -f <script> <args>" instead from the Makefile.vmlinux, so
the $PATH will be used to locate gawk appropriately.
