There is one more thing that is worth checking -- there are two of my awk scripts involved in building bits of boot loader: sys/boot/common/merge_help.awk sys/boot/ficl/softwords/softcore.awk The first script contains [[:graph:]] and [[:print:]] patterns, and the second one uses [[:space:]]. There are function definitions used in softcore.awk, too. These are not show-stoppers, but if the decision is made to change the build/system awk, someone might like to ping me so I can make sure these scripts still work.
