This *could* be a bug in libtool, as this seems to be the second place I've encountered this specific pattern:

> ../libtool: eval: line 1774: syntax error near unexpected token `|'
> ../libtool: eval: line 1774: `nm   <stuff>

(As seen in bug #724448)

But I don't see existing libtool bugs open for this specific issue. (They all express similarly, but seem unrelated to the presence of nm in /usr/bin)

Seeing

I think it's a case of bug #724558. Can you reproduce build failure past that commit?

32-bit build does not fail for me and detects NM as:

Now works with multilib.eclass fixes :)
