No, its xsltproc (a utility other than xalan) that has a different layout.
xalan on macOS or Linux should have the same output as on Windows (untested).

Test on WSL:
Welcome to Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.4.0-26100-Microsoft aarch64)
~$ xalan
Command 'xalan' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install xalan
After installation, touch these files to force the generation of the derived .h
and .xml files:
interpreter/messages/rexxmsg.xml
interpreter/behaviour/PrimitiveClasses.xml
Start the build and boom! doesn't work.
This xalan on WSL doesn't support the arguments that work on Windows...
I give up...
build output on WSL:
