Now we are adding new binary dependency (tac) to build system and we now
create a interim file, as far as I understand which is required to use awk.
Although this is a nice piece of awk command, I am not sure if sed
alternative or this is better because of above two issues. This is a
question that I have more than a comment against one to another.

If you prefer to use this one, I confirmed that this works fine.
