Hello, two rules in 'syntax-check' fail with non-gnu tools:
sc_long_lines (cfg.mk): uses 'wc -L' and 'sed -r' - not supported on BSD's wc/sed. perhaps it should even use '$(SED)' instead of 'sed'? _gl_tight_scope (gnulib/top/maint.mk): uses 'nm -e', '-e' not supported with Apple Xcode's nm, and is silently ignored in GNU nm. perhaps the '-e' can simply be removed? The attached patch skips sc-long-lines if needed (note: minimally tested on Mac OS X 10.9.5 with Xcode 6.1, and on Debian 7 64bit). - Assaf
