Ubuntu is broken then ... gawk should be installed and awk should be a symlink 
to it.  unless Ubunutu is installing a slimmed down awk that matches POSIX 
and expects gawk as an addition (which it should force as part of its 
system).

you cant just go around doing s/gawk/awk/g without actually checking the code 
to see if it contains GNU-isms ...

that's distro specific ... i dont think we want to go encoding every 
dependency that random $distro needs ...
