Will not build without docker, so I am out of luck. This tells me this is not portable, even to some Linuxes.

It definitely builds outside docker. It's a musl-cross-make toolchain, you can procure the dependencies locally if you don't like the Docker recipes.
Feel free to open an issue if you feel like that's a challenge. Likely, you can get it to work but checksum reproducibility will be hard without a controlled environment like docker.
Strict POSIX conformance is arguably worse. I mean, have you seen what it advises for shebangs? First of all:
Ah, so shebangs are not required to be supported, already a great start. Marvelous. What a robust foundation of useful and hard-to-misuse utilities.
