Actually awk is one of the standard Single Unix Specification (version 3) utilities and the kernel build uses it in a number of places, such as arch/alpha/boot/Makefile, drivers/eisa/Makefile, scripts/ver_linux. Your objection is a bit like saying "and don't use cat". I'm saying don't call cat "gcat" when you just mean plain old cat. > p.s. who is going to make alternative to GNU make ? ;D Me. Seriously. It's on my todo list, as part of the Firmware Linux project: http://lwn.net/Articles/215941/ Although as major projects go, it's about fifth down on the list after getting toybox up to speed, writing a proper bash replacement shell, getting tcc to build an unmodified Linux kernel, convincing the uClibc guys to HAVE ANOTHER RELEASE ALREADY (it's been a year and a half, I _sent_ a cake)... Today, I'm writing a gene2fs that produces streaming output (I.E. it works like tar). It's not done yet...
