I suppose running a bulk build on the same source tree with and without 
USE_GNU_TOOLS+=sed in /etc/mk.conf (and the same for awk) and comparing 
the difference would give a good indication of the packages which would 
benefit from setting these in the Makefile.

Anyway, if you know of any packages which can be fixed this way, please 
do file PRs against them.
