Description
I guess it is very difficult to support them. But https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/gawk/ contains
usr/bin/awk (symlink)
usr/bin/gawk-5.4.0 (same binary)
usr/bin/gawkbug (not useful)
usr/include/gawkapi.h
usr/lib/awk/grcat
usr/lib/awk/pwcat
usr/lib/gawk/filefuncs.so
usr/lib/gawk/fnmatch.so
usr/lib/gawk/fork.so
usr/lib/gawk/inplace.so
usr/lib/gawk/intdiv.so
usr/lib/gawk/ordchr.so
usr/lib/gawk/readdir.so
usr/lib/gawk/readfile.so
usr/lib/gawk/revoutput.so
usr/lib/gawk/revtwoway.so
usr/lib/gawk/rwarray.so
usr/lib/gawk/time.so
It is impossible to package this project as drop-in if other pkgs depend on such shared libs.

Research direction

Define the scope for handling gawk's additional binaries and shared libraries before implementation; done requires an agreed compatibility approach and validation that dependent packages can use the packaged project.
