Comment (by ballapete):

 In my opinion the `nm` failure with `invalid argument --` is due to
 `ninja`. I think there exists no version or variant of `nm` that uses
 `--`. I built today a few times `pango +x11 +quartz` and searched in
 **all** files for an occurrence of a text matching the regular expression
 `[ :/]nm .*--` – nothing was found (OK, a probably final check is still
 necessary). So the `--` cannot come from the `pango` sources but is
 introduced by some auxiliary programme. `CMake` seems to be IMO more of a
 framework that is used early while `ninja` is doing the real job of
 controlling the build (and its check) process. So to me it's likely
 `ninja` that introduces the `--`.

 I'll try to build on Monterey (macOS 12.1), and possibly High Sierra
 (macOS 10.13.6) too. I also would like to find out whether naming the nm
 binary explicitly is necessary.
