This issue is known to upstream <https://dev.gnupg.org/T4459> and fixed in upstream with this commit:

commit 7865041c77f4f7005282f10f9b6666b19072fbdf
Author: NIIBE Yutaka <gniibe>
Date:   Mon Apr 15 15:10:44 2019 +0900

    awk: Prepare for Gawk 5.0.
    
    * src/Makefile.am: Use pkg_namespace (instead of namespace).
    * src/mkerrnos.awk: Likewise.
    * lang/cl/mkerrcodes.awk: Don't escape # in regexp.
    * src/mkerrcodes.awk, src/mkerrcodes1.awk, src/mkerrcodes2.awk: Ditto.
    
    --
    
    In Gawk 5.0, regexp routines are replaced by Gnulib implementation,
    which only allows escaping specific characters.

Are you going to fix this package or can I do it instead of you?

I am going to do it. Thank you for the investigation!

The issue was marked as fixed in version `libgpg-error-1.36-2.fc31` , but I'm still seeing it on Fedora 31 in `libgpg-error.x86_64 1.36-2.fc31` and `gawk.x86_64 5.0.1-5.fc31`, it's also reported by other users here: https://github.com/KittyKatt/screenFetch/issues/627#issuecomment-560373424

any chance we can get libgpg-error rebuilt (with the patch) for F31?

let me know if there's anything I can help with
