don't see references to this problem online.

yes, it's already fixed in git (author: bernhard reutner-fischner) and iirc also in latest busybox release


While compiling gcc-4.8.1 in a uClibc environment with BusyBox providing 'awk' my compilation 
aborts with an "undefined function" error. Upon inspection of the offending awk script, 
the "undefined" function is in fact defined prior to use, but all lines within the 
function are # commented out. I assume awk is dropping the function definition since the function 
is empty. GNU awk apparently keeps the function definition and simply does nothing since the body 
is effectively empty.

I attempted to figure out how awk is making this error, but to be honest, the 
BusyBox awk code is too complex for me to figure out and debug in a reasonable 
time frame, so I defer to the experts here. :-)
