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.
