tcltk-8.6.10-2: nm: invalid option -- j

[cooljeanius]

Looks like tcltk's build system is trying to pass a flag to nm that it doesn't recognize:

What's the output of which nm; type -a nm ?

[sth0]

Which nm are you using and which Xcode/OS combination? /usr/bin/nm on MacOS 13.6 / Xcode 15 does accept -j as an option and is in the man page and the -h option shows it as well. However, MacOS 10.14 (Mojave) / Xcode 11.3.1 nm uses -just-symbol-name instead. Need an Xcode version test to switch from -just-symbol-name to -j ? Sigh, the OS/Xcode/Perl/Python version combinations are getting out of hand trying to stay compatible with older systems. I appreciate that since I have been maintaing a bunch of systems that run 10.9.

My 10.13's /usr/bin/nm (Apple LLVM version 10.0.0 (clang-1000.11.45.5)) accepts both -j and -just-symbol-name. Even the latest upstream release and development versions of tk have nm -gjp for some important-looking darwin-specific library handling. So "some" versions of LLVM's nm have it. It looks like it's also in binutils as of 2.37, but fink's package is 2.36 and doesn't include the nm tool at all.

[cooljeanius]

The workaround for #1061 (deactivating x86-64-binutils-default) seems to have worked for me here, too

[dmacks]

Good find! I just pushed a new version of objtools, which could be a template for updating *-binutils to a version that accepts -j.

Confirming that the new objtools built successfully, and that tcltk is now up-to-date for me (although the underlying issue here should probably still be fixed, though)
