Re: [PATCH/resend] Document awk requirements

[Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com>]

Hi Luca,

As Randy said, gen-insn-attr-x86.awk doesn't need gawk anymore,

> Subject: [tip:x86/urgent] x86: Don't use POSIX character classes in gen-insn-attr-x86.awk

because above patch removes POSIX character classes.
So I think we don't need to update Documentation/Changes.

Thank you,
