I get the following error when building with the standard 'awk' (/usr/bin/awk) in 
Solaris:

./mkstatus < ./gpgme.h > status-table.h
awk: syntax error near line 3
awk: bailing out near line 3

The "awk" statement in mkstatus looks like this:
awk '
/GPGME_STATUS_ENTER/      { okay = 1 }
!okay                     { next }
/}/                       { exit 0 }
/GPGME_STATUS_[A-Za-z_]*/ { sub (/,/, "", $1); printf "  { \"%s\", %s },\n", substr($1,14), $1 }
' | sort

The standard Solaris awk doesn't like the "!okay" expression.
That is easy enough to fix, change it to "okay == 0" and it doesn't complain.

However, that exposes a larger issue with Solaris /usr/bin/awk - it doesn't support the "sub" 
statement.

Switching to 'gawk' is the easiest fix.
