Is this with --enable-modules or without?

Can you find out which invocations are printing the error?  It could be
one of "nm -P -g block/FILENAME.mo" or "nm -P -g libqemuutil.a" or "nm
-P -g libqemustub.a".

I found the error in
http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/cctools/cctools-855/misc/nm.c

	if(st == NULL || st->nsyms == 0){
	    warning("no name list");
	    return;
	}

I guess this could match the first part of this paragraph in the POSIX
spec: "If no symbolic information is available for a valid input file,
the nm utility shall report that fact, but not consider it an error
condition".  I guess we could use "2>&1" to shut it up, but it would be
nice to know what the problem is.

Yes, http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/nm.html

nm [-APv] [-g|-u] [-t format] file...

-g
    Write only external (global) symbol information
-P
    Write information in a portable output format, as specified in the
    STDOUT section.
