gawk 3.0.4 does not work for gtk+-1.2.8

[eduard epi t-online de (Peter Bornemann)]

I have downloaded the sources for gtk+-1.2.8. When I use gawk 3.0.4
for the "configure"-script, the building fails with a lot of
GTK_TYPE_XXX macros undeclared. It is OK, when I use gawk 3.0.3.
There appear to be no information in config.log and no warnings from
gawk. So it seems that gawk 3.0.4 does something different.
