I made some minor modifications because I am using a patched binutils
(for preventing all symbols in the global scope from being exported)
with which libtool cannot find a sed pattern for finding symbols to
export when a .sym file is not given. The test for the "checking to see
how to parse nm-B output" (or something like that) fails and an empty
sed pattern is tried when searching for symbols causing the build to
fail.

Thanks for the URL,
Stephano Mariani
