Description

## Observed Behavior

When running `make prettify` I get the following error:
```
column: invalid option -- 'o'
usage: column [-txne] [-c columns] [-s sep] [file ...]
```

## Expected Behavior

I expect that the content of `scripts/prettify.sh` contains the options that are compatible on my system or otherwise tell me which one to use.

## My Environment

**Operating system:**

Ubuntu Linux 20.04

The manual for my column command states "BSD General Commands Manual" from July 29, 2004

**Version of the Ibex source code:**

7ab2571bea0daca3f14155d82f0124fb0b118799

Research direction

Start with scripts/prettify.sh and run make prettify to reproduce the column option error on Ubuntu 20.04. Compare the command with the stated BSD column manual and verify the compatible invocation. Done means the prettify target runs without the invalid-option error on the reported system.
