Description
The current Makefile works on Linux but not on macOS. It relies on Linux-specific tools like /proc/cpuinfo, getent, and hardcoded paths such as /usr/bin/tar and /usr/bin/sudo. macOS also doesn’t support tar --same-owner.
These issues prevent the Makefile from running on macOS.

Research direction
Start with the Makefile and run its targets on macOS to reproduce the failures. Replace or condition the Linux-specific /proc/cpuinfo, getent, /usr/bin paths, and tar --same-owner usage so the Makefile completes successfully on macOS as well as Linux.
