There could be done a lot, I guess.

But I think the situation currently is quite good.

There is http://www.randomsample.de:4457/waterfall which shows the
last build on a reference platform.

You can checkout a fresh orgmode source-tree and activate it with a
minimal configuration file.

If there are problems with an individually configured installation you
have no other choice than to somehow find out what is the culprit
AFAICS.  E.g. debugging and comparing to a reference.

Btw for the concrete issue in this thread about "ob-sh" and "sh" the
user-individual settings for BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES in the local*.mk
makefiles could be of interest.


Best regards
