[sr #108558] libtool nm test does not really work for W32 versions of nm

[Peter Rosin]

Follow-up Comment #3, sr #108558 (project libtool):

> Well, in MSYS2 you can simply do:

> Can't say anything about MSYS1, haven't used it for some time.

That would also work on MSYS1.

However, I had an idea. Anyone against using
     "$tmp_nm" -B ///dev/null
everywhere? "///foo" and "/foo" should be equivalent according to
Posix. We should still check for "/dev/null" in the output,
methinks...

Cheers,
Peter
