I'm not at all sure how the nm failure ends up leading to this problem,
but I'll take your word for that part.

I should have explained that part. I got an error from nm as invoked by collect. nm failed because gcc/nm in the build tree is a shell script that does 'exec "$@"' instead of the cross nm in my install tree. gcc/nm was created incorrectly because a "test -x $NM_FOR_TARGET" command in the configure script failed. This test failed because NM_FOR_TARGET is defined as "/.../bin/nm -B -X32_64" and the shell test -x command does not work with that. -- Jim Wilson, GNU Tools Support, http://www.specifix.com
