Aah, I assumed this had something to do with OS X. Wrong assumption. On
my openSUSE install where make world succeeded I find the program osx:
aklaver@tito:~> osx --help
Usage: osx [OPTION] SYSID..
....
osx converts SGML to XML. osx parses and validates the SGML document
contained in SYSID... and writes an equivalent XML document to the
standard output. osx will warn about SGML constructs which have no XML
equivalent.
So it seems you need to install osx on your system.
