$ grep -r @AWK@ *
configure:s,@AWK@,$AWK,;t t
lib/ss/mk_cmds.sh.in:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@
lib/et/compile_et.sh.in:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@
MCONFIG.in:AWK = @AWK@
util/subst.conf.in:AWK                  @AWK@
$

This suggests at least lib/ss/mk_cmds.sh.in and lib/et/compile_et.sh.in.
Don't know about a graceful solution for the other files, though.

I still would prefer (1) or (2) since this would ensure that the same
awk would be used on all platforms. This would prevent potential
incompatibilities.

bye,
  Roland
