LP:890919 - error with nm with ./BUILD causing non-zero exit code

When running this:

./BUILD/compile-pentium64-max -prefix=$SOFTWARE --extra-configs="-sysconfdir=/Server/conf --localstatedir=/Server/data --with-unix-socket-path=/Server/tmp/mysql.sock --with-mysqld-user=$(whoami)"

An error occurs with "nm" saying something about invalid exit code "--". This results in the exit code being 1 instead of 0.
