To make executables, you need a compiler. Good luck finding one.
 
Considering what awk is for, there doesn't seem to be any real use for a
GUI interface for awk programs.  There is an awk2c translater, and there
are awk libraries for C.  

In ages past, there was TAWK, which was a very good awk compiler, but
Thompson Automation no longer sells it (and it didn't have an IDE, but it
did have a debugger).

If you mean an IDE type wrapper for creating scripts, any good
programmer's text editor with syntax highlighting would be more than
enough when combined with a separate shell window for testing the program.

Debugging is mostly done by inserting print commands in the script to keep
you informed about what's really happening.
