taking advantage of is not the same as requiring.  if you're going to make the 
build system stupid, at least stop executing `awk`.  the last release 
executed `awk` explicitly, so at least cvs fixed it to $(AWK).  configure.in 
uses AC_PROG_AWK which means it defaults to awk, not gawk.

wile you're in the process of making glibc stupid, please stop lying to people 
and delete all non-GNU directories.  keeping them implies glibc can actually 
be used on other platforms.  *bsd*, irix, hpux, etc...
