Are you *positive* about this?
Mastodon Linux uses the awk out of OpenBSD ((c) Lucent 1997) and
is able to build the 2.3.xx kernels without complaint (at least for
awk -- there are a couple of pointless gnuisms elsewhere in the
build process that I've been waving patches around for.)

of Unix, not missing features.
