I can provide a counter to your question. Working on an embedded system with multiple processors, we needed to generate a system binary that included microcontroller and DSP images, where the micro booted first and loaded the DSP after verifying a CRC. I built the CRC out of a pipeline featuring awk. Don't do that. It certainly didn't save me any time.
