Comment (by maeder):

 awk is currently not used for building (see attached log file of #8781)
 and maybe awk is not always GNU awk, too. (But GNU awk is detected by
 configure.)

 In any case, I think, this sed script should be more comprehensible for
 the open source community.
 Maybe splitting this into several sed calls would do the same job.
