Bug #3414: /rescue/awk is broken

----------------------------------------
@/rescue/awk@ simply segfauts when called.

It turns out the awk objects are missing in the crunched @rescue@, as the @crunchgen@ command warns:

<pre>
crunchgen: rescue.conf: awk: warning: could not find any .o files
crunchgen: rescue.conf: awk: ignoring program because of errors
</pre>

After investigation, it's because the specified awk SRCDIR is @usr.bin/awk@, which further contains two subdirectories: @awk@ (the real program) and @maketab@ (a host build tool).

However, the @<bsd.crunchgen.mk>@ make framework and @crunchgen(1)@ tool don't really support such a code layout.  There is no way to specify the dependent build tools, and I haven't come up with a good solution.  It seems both require an update to fix the limitation.
