Description
I noticed in the CI that the Initialize toolchain-dependent workflow variables step of the Code Coverage job shows the following error on macOS (see, for example, https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/actions/runs/10212002156/job/28254433795#step:10:25):
realpath: illegal option -- m
usage: realpath [-q] [path ...]
The error happens in util/show-utils.sh.

Start by reading util/show-utils.sh and tracing the realpath invocation used by the Code Coverage job's “Initialize toolchain-dependent workflow variables” step. Reproduce or inspect that macOS CI step, then verify that the job completes without the reported realpath error on macOS.
