The scripts does need gawk because other flavours like mawk do not have the
features that the scripts depend on.

For the generator script, passing it as a script explicitly to gawk would
work because then the regular PATH search will apply, i.e.
gawk -f scripts/generate_builtin_ranges.awk <args>
The scripts/verify_builtin_ranges.awk script can be invoked the same way,
or simply as an executable script if gawk is installed in the standard place.
Other utilities that are executed during the kernel build seem to depend
on being found using the PATH, so perhaps changing the recipe in the makefile
to use gawk -f <script> <args> would be an acceptable solution?
