I understand that; my point is, escaping a couple of characters falls under the
rubric of "limited accommodation." It would be a different story if I wanted
GCC to build with an awk that, say, doesn't support variables.

It's less reasonable than a two-line patch.

(Any info on building a dist tarball? I don't have enough space on my AIX 4.3
system to take the entire SVN tree)
