>Description:
there are some sripts installed under ${LOCALBASE} (share/aclocal/libtool.m4, bin/libtool, bin/shlibtool) that simply call awk, thus not honoring the ${AWK} setting.
This can lead to problems on systems with no awk at all or a less capable version of awk (first) in the shell path.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
replace awk by ${AWK} and maybe define AWK in the scripts to be installed, just as it is being done for SED now.
