Currently  all needed flags for calling NM are set directly in the makefile, see

common/NativeCompilation.gmk

hotspot/lib/CompileJvm.gmk

hotspot/lib/JvmMapfile.gmk

so Andreas was just following the current practise. Regarding BUILD_NM , I 
cannot find usage of it in the makefiles, so probably nothing to fix at the 
moment.
