The patch in conf/163778 seems to combine several unrelated things.  I
don't know what the usecase is for ${AWK}, but it should certainly be
committed on it's own if it is committed.

The reason I rejected the ${__X} approach is that it requires a=20
fixed naming convention that doesn't work at all for compilers.  I think
it's a somewhat better idea for binutils, but we'll probably break the
convention at least initially with mclinker.
