It's very often for embedded to have stripped version of sort in busybox, when no -V option present. It breaks build natively on target board causing recursive loop. BusyBox v1.24.1 (2019-04-06 04:09:16 UTC) multi-call binary. \ Usage: sort [-nrugMcszbdfimSTokt] [-o FILE] [-k \ start[.offset][opts][,end[.offset][opts]] [-t CHAR] [FILE]... Lets modify command a little to avoid -V option.
