Well the obvious problem in the above output is the two pipes next to each
other: "| |". That's what's causing the system error, and it wouldn't matter
what version of nm you're using. There's obviously supposed to be some other
program being called between those pipes, a program which perhaps is not being
found on your system. I don't know what that program is; you'd have to read the
build system files and see if you can find the variable that's between those
two pipes and from that variable name figure out what program it's meant to be.
