FS#8622 - Build failure on FreeBSD
SVN commit 16343 breaks the build on FreeBSD. In it, apps/lang/Makefile was added with code to automatically calculate the size of the largest language file:
$(HEADER): $(OUTP)
$(call PRINTS,Make $(HEADER)) echo "#define MAX_LANGUAGE_SIZE `du -b $(OBJDIR)/* |sort -n |tail -n 1 |cut -f 1`" > $(HEADER)
However, the -b argument passed to du is a GNU extension that is not available on other *NIX systems. The du command therefore silently fails, leaving MAX_LANGUAGE_SIZE undefined.
A more portable method to determine the largest file size will have to be found here, as du on FreeBSD has *no* parameter that would output the number of bytes.

Thanks for verifying. Should've noticed
that gawk is GNU awk in the first place
myself 
Would using ls work? I.e. using something like
`ls -lr | gawk '{print $5}' | sort -n | tail -n 1`
(I don't have access to a BSD machine, so I have no idea if that also uses GNU extensions …)
gawk stands for "GNU awk", so that command in itself is a GNU extension :). But I just tested that it works if you use plain awk (FreeBSD 6-STABLE):
ls -lr | awk '{print $5}' | sort -n | tail -n 1
