I can't build the language bindings appendix because the new scripts assume new GNU versions of some standard Unix commands (like sort), and my Mac doesn't have those versions. �Can we stick with the more portable versions (e.g., in MAKE-APPLANG, don't use --key, which my sort command does not recognize and is, I believe, a GNU extension)?

While we're at it, pdfinfo isn't standard either - is this really necessary for the Make (which for me always fails at this step)? �There's a pdfinfo command for Macs, but it pops up a GUI and that's probably not intended (and certainly not appropriate).
