Resolving 64-bit Linux Build Problems

There were problems with the awk scripts - they were not generating the auto-generated includes files. This was caused by the RS (Record Separator) and ORS (Output Record Separator) variables being set to CRLF to work with Windows. The files were now all in Unix (LF) format and so the input source files not being read correctly. So the RS and ORS lines were commented.

The git configuration option autocrlf was set to false, causing git upon checkout to change any DOS (CRLF) format files in the repository to be converted to Unix format (LF), or the CRLF was removed when the CVS repository was converted to git. There were previous problems with CRLF on Windows when switching between cvs with MSYS to CVSNT (all the files were changed to DOS format since CVSNT didn't seem to like Unix format files).

Next there were warnings about the gets() function calls in the test routines, which were not present on Windows (using GCC 4.4.0 on MinGW/MSYS). After updating with the package manager, Kubuntu had GCC 4.4.5, so perhaps this was a change between 4.4.0 and 4.4.5 or a difference between the GCC build on MinGW vs. Kubuntu. The warning complained that the returned value from gets() was being ignored. To remove the warnings, statements were add to check the return value.

The linker also warned that the gets() function is dangerous and should not be used. This is probably because gets() does not check for a buffer overflow of the allocated buffer given to it. The buffer allocated is plenty big for testing here and this is just the test code anyway, so this warning will be ignored from the time being.
