Psyntax is a bit picky about the way modules reference defined
bindings in their own definitions.  It behaves like letrec, where
right hand sides can't reference any other letrec binding at
definition time.  In awk.scm, this happens when it expands the syntax
definitions in the awk macro.  The easiest workaround is to make the
dependent functions of the awk macro internal definitions, eg:

(define-syntax awk
  (lambda (stx)
    (define (syntax->list ...

etc

Hope that works,
