That’s very strange!

The awk (gawk) on my 16.04 supports the “hew style” (available when I first used GNU tools in the 1990s) `--long-switches`.

Can you tell what package provided your awk? Did you install some “minimal” Ubuntu distribution?

What does

```
 dpkg -l |grep awk

```

say?

I’m working on a PR for this, but found another error that I’d like to resolve before sumitting. The awk (gawk) that is typically installed on Ubuntu supports the `--field-separator` switch. It looks like there is an `original-awk` package that installs an awk that must be the one that doesn’t support GNU-style switches. @Shivam_Trivedi or @Fajfi can you see what version of awk you have installed?
