Thanks to everyone who answered. It seems that Cygwin is the sole
dissenter (gawk compiled with --enable-switch) - those Windows
computers are weird, aren't they? ;-)

I am still curious about SLES (I suppose between CentOS and Fedora one
has a pretty good guess what RHEL has), so if you try it, please let
me know.

Thanks a lot again,
