Subject: [bug#50174] [PATCH core-updates-frozen 2/2] gnu: make-bootstrap: Enable tests in static gawk build.

From: Thiago Jung Bauermann <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 23 Aug 2021 18:01:35 -0300

The tests were disabled because gawk’s extension mechanism doesn’t work
when it’s built statically, and some tests fail because of that.

Another alternative is to disable the extension mechanism during
configuration time, which causes the testsuite to pass again.

* gnu/packages/make-bootstrap.scm (%static-inputs)[gawk]<#:tests?>: Remove.
<#:configure-flags>: Add.
