Can't we take $AWK given in config_vars.mk/apr_rules.mk instead, using APXS?

As of this commit, yes.
As of the next commit, which works around missing tolower() in nawk on
some levels of Solaris by preferring /usr/xpg4/bin/awk, no.

I don't know levels of Solaris don't have tolower() in nawk. Perhaps
it isn't a practical concern.

Solaris 8 with man pages from 1999 has a working nawk tolower(). I tried
just now.

Furthermore the page

http://www.shelldorado.com/articles/awkcompat.html

contains nice tables stating that for 2.5 until 8 tolower() works for
nawk. So I'd say not a practical concern.

Solaris 8 is downright futuristic compared with the software levels of
some of the sunfreeware.com users ;)

way cool; the lack of tolower() in Sun-delivered nawk must have been a
SunOS memory
