[Bug 1268218] [NEW] nm(1) does not work on 64-bit objects

[Kevin O'Gorman]

Public bug reported:

On 64-bit Ubuntu and Xubuntu systems, at least since 12.04, nm(1) does
not recognize the format of 64-bit objects or executables.  It does
recognize 32-bit objects even on a 64-bit system.

Try it on the stuff in /bin or /lib, for instance.

It's a handy utility, and I really miss it.
