    AMD hudson & SB800 - Fix issues with mawk
    
    When calculating the offsets of the various binary blobs within the
    coreboot.rom file, we noticed that using mawk as the awk tool instead
    of using gawk led to build issues.  This was finally traced to the
    maximum value of the unsigned long variables within mawk - 0x7fff_ffff.
    Because we were doing calculations on values up in the 0xffxxxxxx
    range, these numbers would either be turned into floating point values
    and printed using scientific notation, or truncated at 0x7fff_ffff.
    
    To fix this, we print the values out as floating point, with no decimal
    digits.  This works in gawk, mawk, and original-awk and as the testing
    below show, seems to be the best way to do this.
    
    printf %u 0xFFFFFFFF | awk '{printf("%.0f %u %d", $1 , $1 , $1 )}'
    mawk:         4294967295 2147483647 2147483647
    original-awk: 4294967295 2147483648 4294967295
    gawk:         4294967295 4294967295 4294967295
    
    The issue of %d not matching gawk and original-awk has been reported
    to ubuntu.
    
    In the future, I'd recommend that whenever awk is used, a format is
    specified. It doesn't seem that we can count on the representation
    being the same between the different versions.
