If you can detect you are running on Mac OS X, and the default awk on
Mac OS X takes different arguments, or there is a separate, standard,
path for the GNU versions of these tools (e.g. /opt/gnu/bin/) use it
under a test for "if running on Mac OS X".

I'd rather we avoided doing that if we can.

That does not sound like the long-term solution
