Modifications have been made; patch in kern/14087. It produces identical output to the new softcore.pl for my test case of cat sys/boot/ficl/softwords/*.fr People (more) familiar with ficl syntax might like to craft some awkward constructs and check that I'm handling them legally. Note that the script contains one gawk-ism (use of strftime() to include a cosmetic "last update" comment in the generated softcore.c). In my opinion, this should be eliminated -- it seems like a needless GNUism to me. gawk(1) says that the use of the character class [[:space:]] is consistent with POSIX 1003.2 (and I have no reason to disbelieve it). However, [[:space:]] also seems to be frequently misunderstood by other common awks, so it might also be considered a candidate for removal in the interests of portability. The alternative is a bit messier, though, and not necessarily portable across different locales.
