Okay I ran into the same problems everyone else ran into and I have
a solution.

Get rid of gnu-sort from contrib and use NetBSD's sort, which was
imported five months ago but apparently never incorporated into the
build process.

Gnu-sort does not appear to understand +# arguments whereas NetBSD's
sort does.

This solved the problem for me.
