build_index.pl (and update_examples) are anachronisms. Irregardless of how we fix this bug report, I think the best way forward would be to re-write this perl script in lisp and generate the index file at run-time, not build-time. BTW, it is an embarrassment that we use perl and not lisp to do this simple text stuff. There may have been a time when that made sense, but that is long gone.
