Host out binaries are missing when building AOSP on macos

I'm building AOSP (12) on macOS Monterey with M1. Overall it works well (successfully generates images even while macOS is not officially supported).

However, I've also built the same tree for the same target (just rsync-ed files) on a linux machine, and I see the difference between out/host/$platform/bin files.

Here are the files for linux-x86 (129 files):

I used the same commands on both machines: mmma and then a regular make to get these results.

Consequently, make dist works well on the Linux machine, and doesn't work on macOS machine as at least host_init_verifier is missing.

What can be wrong?

Solution

Okay, found out that:

otatools is disabled on darwin (build/make/core/Makefile).
host_init_verifier is also disabled on darwin:

build/core/definitions.mk:

ifdef TARGET_BUILD_UNBUNDLED
# TODO (b/185624993): Remove the chck on TARGET_BUILD_UNBUNDLED when host_init_verifier can run
# without requiring the HIDL interface map.
$(2): $(1)
else ifneq ($(HOST_OS),darwin)
# Host init verifier doesn't exist on darwin.
$(2): \
    $(1) \
    $(HOST_INIT_VERIFIER) \
