UPDATING: Not unusual side effect of the awk bug fixed in d4d252c499

Browse Source 
You might not be able to build the kernel if you have an awk between
Jul 7th 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.
