 which nm (/usr/bin/nm or /opt/local/bin/nm) is being called—maybe a
 meson.log file?

 What I find near the top of main.log is this:

 ...
 }}}

 So I believe that `/opt/local/bin/nm` is being used.

 Some more evidence is given by the log lines near the first error:

 {{{
 ...
 :info:build error: nm: invalid argument --
 :info:build Usage: nm [-agnopruUmxjlfAPL[s segname sectname] [-] [-t
 format] [[-arch <arch_flag>] ...] [file ...]
 ...
 }}}

 Compare this message with these from the two calls:

 {{{
 $ /opt/local/bin/nm ---
 error: /opt/local/bin/nm: invalid argument --
 Usage: /opt/local/bin/nm [-agnopruUmxjlfAPL[s segname sectname] [-] [-t
 format] [[-arch <arch_flag>] ...] [file ...]
 $ /usr/bin/nm ---
 /usr/bin/nm: invalid argument --
 Usage: /usr/bin/nm [-agnoprumxjlfAP[s segname sectname] [-] [-t format]
 [[-arch <arch_flag>] ...] [file ...]
 }}}

 It is clear it is not the second of the two.

 If you look in the lines above taken from `main.log` you see:

 {{{
 ...
 :info:configure WARNING: Unknown options: "lt_cv_path_NM"
 :info:configure The value of new options can be set with:
 :info:configure meson setup <builddir> --reconfigure
 -Dnew_option=new_value ...
 ...
 }}}

 That means that the option `lt_cv_path_NM` is not valid, and following
 `-Dlt_cv_path_NM=/opt/local/bin/nm` has no effect.

 I hope you have some idea what is the basic problem here.
