There is no such deprecation in POSIX:

As we discussed IRL, there is no reason to run smu, as we have no markup
currently; if we want to add markup in the future, then will be the
moment to add the processing, not now. Ditto, cleanup the files with
tidy, if that is even needed, should be done as a linter step to fixup
the files in the tree, not at deployment time.

Ah, right:
    https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/awk.html

There is however no requirement on any awk implementation for Buildroot,
then just default to: AWK=awk
