Do the latter. Use nawk on Solaris, which is reasonably non-crufty.
The standard awk, for reasons that I'm sure Sun could tell us if they
could be bothered, is some _terribly_ broken version.
If you fool with your $PATH enough, you'll get the right awk anyway
(I did this accidentally one time, and it took quite a bit of time to
figure out why things suddenly stopped working); I just can't
remember exactly what $PATH you need, and nawk always works.
