    UPDATING: Not unusual side effect of the awk bug fixed in 3e804463521
    
    You might not be able to build the kernel if you have an awk between Jul
    10th and today. It does not affect all platforms due to the nature of
    the bug (so amd64 is unaffected in stable/13 or current, but is affected
    in stable/12. i386 seems to be affected everywhere).

+	The 20210707 awk update brought in a change in behavior. This has
+	been corrected as of d4d252c49976. Between these dates, if you
+	installed a new awk binary, you may not be able to build a new
+	kernel because the change in behavior affected the genoffset
+	script used to build the kernel. If you did update, the fix is
+	to update your sources past the above hash and do
+		% cd usr.bin/awk
+		% make clean all
+		% sudo -E make install
+	to enable building kernels again.
