Yes, it works just fine this way.  I forgot about this after writing
this wall of text, sorry about that.  I should have informed you about
this earlier.

That's great, I'll be definitely looking forward to it.  I agree that
musl libc [1] was wasted opportunity.  Personally I found it amusing
that same mistakes were once again made, when it comes to adaptation -
dietlibc and its GPL license vs. musl libc and LGPL.

There is no such thing as NetBSD awk per se.  nawk stands for new awk
and it is maintained by Brian Kernighan [2].  It is used by every *BSD
AFAIK.  This is standard awk implementation as you could get, in the
end it was written by author of language.

Side note on name confusion.  NetBSD is probably the only system that
still maintains own version of curses (it is called just "curses"),
they don't use GNU ncruses as everyone else.

They got huge grant  from EU.  NetBSD libc was ported and they switched
to Clang/LLVM as default compiler.
