[barcode] Solaris9, build fails -> patch offered.

[Hugh Sasse Staff Elec Eng]

On Solaris9 with recent tools :
gcc (GCC) 3.3.2
GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
Built for sparc-sun-solaris2.9

the build for barcode-0.98 fails thusly (I know from the archives
that confdefs.h is not a problem, I include it for completeness):

I created this patch, the intention of which is to test for GNU AWK:

 # Unfortunately, pmake has no "-C". Also, "pmake -n" doesn't follow the cd.

This seems to fix the problem for me.
