I can confirm now that --disable-symvers worked fine on my system.

Well to be a bit more precise I have the following at hand:

uname -a
Darwin dzc14.neoplus.adsl.tpnet.pl 8.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 8.2.0:  
Fri Jun 24 17:46:54 PDT 2005; root:xnu 792.2.4.obj~3/RELEASE_PPC  
Power Macintosh powerpc

The configure scripting drama translates this in to:
ppc-apple-darwin7.8.0.

I'm not quite sure if this is correct since guessing the GCC version  
interpretation here I would expect this to came out as:

ppc-apple-darwin7.9.2

aka: Tiger darwin 10.4.2

A fairly plain system without any additional fink darwinports or  
similar packages. Perhaps this could be the cause that we have  
basically different nm programs in action here?
