The install target for gawk does something like:
if [ test -f awk ] ...
and this mechanism fails on machines like Solaris when the symlink is there,
as -f tests for a Real File, not a symlink.
The next problem is that the solaris "test" does not implement -e, and there
are some versions of "test" that do not support -h/-L.
Grunt.
