@JDevlieghere, would you care to review? This is another instance of moving away from system binaries to whatever the user / package manager wants the build to use.

#!/usr/bin/env perl -w (2 arguments) unfortunately does not work on Linux and many other systems.

Several llvm/utils/ scripts can probably just be removed.

Not sure if there's a similar thing for awk, but I think use warnings is preferred nowadays over perl -w.

I dropped the awk bits, since there's no portable way to do it there, and replaced all perl -w with perl and use warnings.

Do you have commit access? If not I can land this for you.

I don't have commit access, would be great if you could do that for me!
