Sorry, I was confused by the two cases for "aix" and the case for
"GNU" within AIX.

Is that in your patch or existing code? Your patch removes the
current substr($3,1,1).

Ah, well, this is turning into a very complex statement. GCC requires
GNU Awk and most developers use Bash, but does this work correctly
with AIX awk and AIX Ksh?
