A build of the current GNU Emacs sources on Alpine Linux 3.18 fails:
$ ./configure ... --without-all --without-x

The problem is apparently the 'awk' program that ships with Alpine Linux:
$ awk --version
awk: unrecognized option: version
BusyBox v1.36.1 (2023-06-02 00:42:02 UTC) multi-call binary.
Usage: awk [OPTIONS] [AWK_PROGRAM] [FILE]...
-v VAR=VAL Set variable
-F SEP Use SEP as field separator
-f FILE Read program from FILE
-e AWK_PROGRAM
It would be good if the INSTALL file would mention this requirement to
have a decent 'awk' program.
