This probably isn't critical to fully fix, adding a line before the
die like:

      skip_all "Darwin needs a fix" if $^V < v5.39 && !defined $symbols->{o};;

should skip the test file on such systems while having it continue to
fail in future development releases.

To diagnose the problem, please run:

  ./perl porting/libperl.t

before the die you should see something like:

  # command: "/usr/bin/nm -m ../libperl.a"

It may not be exactly that, please run whatever that shows and capture
the output.  You will probably need to adjust the path to libperl.a.

Ideally open a new ticket with that output included.

Tony
