Doh!  Many thanks -- not only that the make is proceeding without error 
as I write this, but ESPECIALLY for your generating the fastest query- 
response I've ever encountered.

So: config can specify whatever 'awk'-sibling it finds available, but it 
can't be responsible for whether, in detail, that sibling is compatible 
with what's in the awk scripts.
