That's interesting. I imagine in most cases, all the definitions are in
the same file, eg:

(defvar foo-mode-map ... )
(defvar foo-mode-syntax-table ... )
(define-derived-mode foo-mode ... )

cc-awk is unusual in that the actual mode is defined in cc-mode.el and
requires cc-awk.el as part of its execution.

Another option is to move awk-mode-syntax-table from cc-awk.el to
cc-mode.el (I see the mode-map and abbrev-table are already there).
Unbinding it might erase any user customization.
