--- Comment #1 from Nick Alcock <nick.alcock at oracle dot com> ---
Adding an exit status test seems like a good idea, yes. I'll do that in the
next few days (busy, but this is easy and machine time is cheap).

I don't have access to a Darwin machine and the compile farm obviously doesn't
have any -- could you check that the result works once I have something?

(The reason for the oddness of this test is simply that we have to run nm on
*something*, and many implementations forbid running it on /dev/null, and
*correct* output on every implementation I have seen includes the file name. Of
course, multi-line error messages might too... oops. I hope an exit status test
will suffice to avoid that.)
