The source of this problem was due to GAWK not parsing the parameters correctly. I now have the problem that the following command

echo "parm1 parm2" | awk '{print $1}'

resolves to "parm1 parm2" instead of just "parm1". Has anyone seen this before, or have any suggestions as to what may have built incorrectly prior to AWK being built?

That behaviour is completely correct, IMO.  "parm1 parm2" is a single
argument--that's exactly what the quotes do!

I'm not sure how that fits into your build problem though.  Sorry.
