I've been on much needed and way too short vacation for the last week so please excuse me for not responding earlier.

As someone has already noted, this was probably due to nm needing libbfd.so and it not being on the root partition. Someone else suggested putting libbfd.so in /lib. IMO, libbfd.so does not belong in /lib and nm should be linked so as to not depend on it. If the new maintainer (Siggy, I think) can't get to it soon, I will try later in the week. BTW, now that I think about it, we should consider selectively relinking a few other programs such that other, non-essential shared libraries don't need to be in /lib (e.g. bash/readline).
