Should you distribute shell scripts (or applications embedding shell scripts) for Solaris 11, you just need to define /system/xopen/xcu4 as a dependency in their IPS package and the installer will automatically do what is required for the script to work properly:

• /usr/bin/awk is complying with the legacy UNIX awk implementation released in 1977. It is kept first in the default system PATH not to break existing scripts as subsequent awk releases break compatibility. oawk is a synonymous of the awk

• /usr/bin/nawk is the "new" version of awk, first shipped in SVR3.1 in 1986. Awk POSIX standard was based on this implementation. /usr/xpg4/bin/awk is almost identical to the former, but the one that is formally checked against POSIX conformance validation tests.

• /usr/gnu/bin/awk, also /usr/bin/gawk is the GNU variant of awk. It aims to comply with most or all of the POSIX standard but adds numerous specific own extensions. igawk and pgawk are themselves extensions to gawk, the first one supports include files and the second one supports profiling.
