Comment:

 Please remember to use WikiFormatting when pasting shell output into a
 ticket.

 The problem is apparently caused by gdbm's configure script detecting your
 nawk install, which it prefers over /usr/bin/awk. However, I cannot
 reproduce your problem with the current nawk from MacPorts installed,
 although configure picks it up correctly. Can you attach the config.log?

 A quickfix for your problem would probably be to uninstall nawk or install
 mawk or gawk, because those are preferred over nawk in gdbm's configure.
