It's interesting that awk is required. I've been attempting to keep
nbdkit from requiring awk (but we do require sed).
In config.log I see:
$ grep -i awk config.log
configure:5226: checking for gawk
configure:5247: found /usr/bin/gawk
configure:5258: result: gawk
ac_cv_prog_AWK=gawk
AWK='gawk'
but I can't tell where that's coming from ...
