This may run afoul of the GNU standards.texi.  It says:

     The `configure' script and the Makefile rules for building and
  installation should not use any utilities directly except these:

       cat cmp cp diff echo egrep expr false grep install-info
       ln ls mkdir mv pwd rm rmdir sed sleep sort tar test touch true

Note the absence of 'awk' as an allowed utility.
