 Yes.  But you might want to try
   ./configure --prefix=/usr
 or you might find yourself still running gawk 3.0.4
 Or, you might not.

Subject: RE: 1.3.1: printf bug in awk?

Seems like a gawk bug, not specific to cygwin.  I get the
same result with gawk 3.0.4 on Linux and Solaris:

bash-2.04$ awk 'BEGIN {printf "%10.0f\n",3.14; exit}'
0000000003

Seems to be fixed in gawk-3.1.0 at least.  I just downloaded and
built it with latest cygwin and I get:

.../gawk-3.1.0$ ./gawk.exe 'BEGIN {printf "%10.0g\n",3.14; exit}'
         3
Perhaps you could convince the cygwin gawk package maintainer to
update to 3.1.0.  But in the meantime, you can compile 3.1.0 yourself
to work around the problem.  If you've done a full cygwin install,
it's literally as simple as download and then ./configure ; make

There seems to be a bug in GNU Awk 3.0.4 comming with Cygwin 1.3.4.
Using printf with precision 0, it fills with zeros instead of spaces.

  $ awk 'BEGIN {printf "%10.0f\n",3.14; exit}'
