Has this always been a problem, or is it a new issue?
Description
The build instructions at https://developer.sony.com/open-source/aosp-on-xperia-open-devices/guides/aosp-build-instructions/build-aosp-android-14/ are missing a bunch of utilities that will make the build fail.
This is the full set that I had to install into a fresh Debian bookworm container:
apt-get install -y openjdk-11-jdk bison g++-multilib git gperf libxml2-utils make zlib1g-dev:i386 zip liblz4-tool libncurses5 libssl-dev bc flex curl python-is-python3 zlib1g-dev libelf-dev gnupg procps rsync
I'd also have preferred to use a more recent build OS, but OpenJDK 11 is no longer available in Debian bookworm. Any chance that it will build with a more recent JDK?
Symptoms

@onitake
please use Ubuntu 20.04 according to our guide or follow the Google instructions

@onitake
Or try my container to build it

Thanks for the link - but I disagree that this should be ignored.
The utilities are required, and while you might get lucky and have them installed on the system, this is not guaranteed.
This is particularly true when you use a build container, which comes with a minimal set of software installed.
FWIW, I also tested the container with Ubuntu 20.04 as base image, and the required utilities rsync and gpg weren't installed either. procps was installed, but it can't hurt to add it to the list regardless.
So, I'd like to request the the package list in the documentation is updated, regardless of the OS used.
