You mean I have to choose between busybox and busybox?

$ ls -l $(which bc awk)
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            12 Feb 13 23:19 /usr/bin/awk -> /bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            12 Feb 13 23:19 /usr/bin/bc -> /bin/busybox

:-)

I guess it doesn't really matter.

One difference though:
$ awk "BEGIN {print $time_end - $time_start}"
3.28798
$ bc <<<"$time_end - $time_start"
3.287982

awk is less precise, but I guess that doesn't matter as well, gitlab UI
isn't going to show the extra digits.

So I guess I can change to use `awk` instead, just in case for some
reason `bc` isn't present, since `awk` seems mandatory for many of our
scripts.

Thanks,
