Please clone the gawk repo and switch to feature/latex-support.

        git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/gawk.git
        cd gawk
        git checkout feature/latex-support
        ./bootstrap.sh && ./configure && make -j
        cd doc
        makeinfo --latex gawk.texi
        pdflatex gawk.tex

For me it dies like so:

| ! LaTeX Error: Not in outer par mode.
| 
| See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
| Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
|  ...                                              
|                                                   
| l.9513 \caption
|                {Return values from \texttt{close()} of a pipe}

If you wish to make changes and test, please edit gawktexi.in and then
use 'make gawk.texi' to get input for makeinfo.

I'm using makeinfo 7.0.1 and the texinfo.tex from the texinfo-7.0.1
distribution.

Much thanks,

Arnold
