My recollection is that mawk has other deficiencies that mean it
won't work for us.

To work around this particular problem, change
programs/_confread/_confread.in (source) or
/usr/local/lib/ipsec/_confread (installed).
The two occurrences of this regular expression can be changed.

$0 ~ /^also(|flip)=/ {
=>
$0 ~ /^(also|alsoflip)=/ {

and

        sub(/^also(|flip)=/, "")
=>
        sub(/^(also|flip)=/, "")
