What problems are hit with BSD awk ? If it is a minor change then I'm not against it, but in general I think we should only focus on building with the GNU toolchain, since that is easily made available on any platform we support. Even if they already have similar tools (awk/make/etc), the GNU stuff can sit alongside native versions & typically offers far more functionality.
