You need "gawk" and not "awk" to be used.. Unfortunately the
genprops.awk script uses a "gawk"-ism and there is no obvious way to
remove. However, I'd be all for making genprops.awk vanilla awk
compatible if possible.

where its explained the issue is related to the gensub versus gsub
functions in gawk.
