Success (well nearly), Karl!
1. Both "touch ..." and installing texinfo got compiling to go through.
2. Only one test failed now: line 46 of t/py-compile-basedir.sh is:
case $(echo "$files" | wc -l) in 4|6) ;; *) false;; esac
but needs to be one of the following
case $(echo "$files" | wc -l | sed 's/^ *//') in 4|6) ;; *) false;; esac
case $(echo "$files" | wc -l | awk '{print $1}') in 4|6) ;; *) false;;
esac
linecount=$(echo "$files" | wc -l); case $(echo $linecount) in 4|6) ;;
*) false;; esac
because "wc -l" prints some spaces in front of the number (at least on macOS).

P.S. "python" points to python2 by default on macOS Sonoma; the tests run using
python2 but I will use
export PYTHON=python3
to verify that it works with python 3.xx.
P.P.S. It still needs
export am_cv_sleep_fractional_seconds=false
to correctly run the tests on macOS. Without that, 75-90 tests fail.
