Little unsure where gawk stops and musl begins. I guess #6 is where it goes wrong. Any musl developer want to work with me to figure this out?

Try with musl and gawk built with debug info. If you're running with
musl provided by your distro, it probably has a debug symbols package
you can install. If you're building musl yourself, add --enable-debug
to configure command line or -g to CFLAGS manually.
