* A number of bugs have been fixed in the MPFR code.
* Indirect function calls now work for both built-in and extension functions.
* Built-in functions are now included in FUNCTAB.
* In non-English locales, it was accidentally possible to use non-english letters for identifiers
* The \"where\" command has been added to the debugger as an alias for \"backtrace\".

* Infrastructure upgrades: Automake 1.15, Gettext 0.19.4, Libtool 2.4.6, Bison 3.0.4.
* If a user-defined function has a parameter with the same name as another user-defined function, it is no longer possible to call the second function from inside the first.
* POSIX requires that the names of function parameters not be the same as any of the special built-in variables and also not conflict with the names of any functions. Gawk has checked for the former since 3.1.7. With --posix, it now also checks for the latter.
* The test suite should check for necessary locales and skip the tests where it matters if support isn\'t what it should be.
* Gawk now expects to be compiled on a system with multibyte character support.- drop gawk-4.1.1-build-baddest.patch, upstream
