This is a rather weird error, but it indeed is caused by a too-old version of NM. Forcing a newer NM does fix it. Before pounding on me about it, I didn't figure this out, so don't blame me for the seeming inconsistencies of it. Somewhere back in the ancient MacPorts tickets archives, Jeremy sorted out that when the version of NM was too old it caused this odd error. So feel free to ask him why this presents itself this way.

Probably. Can you file a pull request or an issue in the issue tracker, if one
is not already there for this issue?

I have already seen this issue months ago, perhaps in another port, I don't
remember where, the nm version used is too old and using the MacPorts one
should fix it.
How do I accomplish this? = tried setting NM on the command line but it doesn't
ork.
I guess the portfile needs a hack... and, in case, can it be done for everybody
in the official portfile?
Well the obvious problem in the above output is the two pipes next to each other: "|
|". That's what's causing the system error, and it wouldn't matter what version of
nm you're using. There's obviously supposed to be some other program being called between
those pipes, a program which perhaps is not being found on your system. I don't know what
that program is; you'd have to read the build system files and see if you can find the
variable that's between those two pipes and from that variable name figure out what
program it's meant to be.
Ken proposed this:
if {${os.platform} eq "darwin" && ${os.major} < 10} {
depends_build-append port:cctools
configure.env-append NM=${prefix}/bin/nm
configure.args-append lt_cv_path_NM=${prefix}/bin/nm
}
and it worked perfectly! Latest GIMP running on my fine white MacBook 32bit :)
Just one single patch needed.
Can it go in the portfile?
