Here's some more /bin/awk output:

  address@hidden tmp]$ echo 'FORBIDDEN' | /bin/awk '/^FORBIDDEN$|_AC_/ { print 
 "MATCH: " $0}'
  MATCH: FORBIDDEN
  address@hidden tmp]$ echo '^FORBIDDEN' | /bin/awk '/^FORBIDDEN$|_AC_/ { prin 
t "MATCH: " $0}'
  address@hidden tmp]$ echo 'FORBIDDEN$' | /bin/awk '/^FORBIDDEN$|_AC_/ { prin 
t "MATCH: " $0}'
  address@hidden tmp]$ echo '^FORBIDDEN$' | /bin/awk '/^FORBIDDEN$|_AC_/ { pri 
nt "MATCH: " $0}'
  address@hidden tmp]$ echo 'FORBIDDEN' | /bin/awk '/_AC_|^FORBIDDEN$/ { print 
 "MATCH: " $0}'
  MATCH: FORBIDDEN
  address@hidden tmp]$ echo '^FORBIDDEN' | /bin/awk '/_AC_|^FORBIDDEN$/ { prin 
t "MATCH: " $0}'
  address@hidden tmp]$ echo 'FORBIDDEN$' | /bin/awk '/_AC_|^FORBIDDEN$/ { prin 
t "MATCH: " $0}'
  address@hidden tmp]$ echo '^FORBIDDEN$' | /bin/awk '/_AC_|^FORBIDDEN$/ { pri 
nt "MATCH: " $0}'

> Is it the actual AWK that was chosen by Autoconf's own configure?

  address@hidden autoconf-2.50b]$ grep AWK= autoconf
  : ${AWK=awk}

  address@hidden autoconf-2.50b]$ grep awk X-configure.log
