Hmm. AWK isn't even on the list of requirements, but we use it all over the place. That seems like an error. Our FreeBSD build environment doesn't use gawk, so it's reasonable to assume we don't fundamentally depend on gawk. Any idea how easy it would be to tweak check-endbr.sh to be non-gawk compatible? ~Andrew
