The GNU makefile conventions have an example using 'gawk', but 'gawk'
is not on the list of programs that portable makefiles are allowed to
assume.  Here is a proposed patch.

2006-12-04  Paul Eggert  <address@hidden>

        * make-stds.texi (Utilities in Makefiles): Add awk to the list
        of compilers and related programs.
        (Install Command Categories): Use $(AWK) rather than gawk, so
        that the example conforms to the makefile coding standards.
