commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=150038166fafae5c596e1e8ca7572bf8b6793a6d
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/next

This is to make sure that host packages that depend on `host-gawk` and that use
`awk` end up using `gawk`, instead of the `awk` symlink installed on the host
system.

On recent Debian-based distributions, `awk` is still symlinked to `mawk` [1].
