So, i don't know how to get it to do that, if you can.

_however_, there's a workaround.  8-)

You'll note that there exists /usr/src/usr.bin/lorder/lorder.sh.gnm,
which is installed rather than the normal lorder.sh on certain
platforms (in particular, those where ${MACHINE_ARCH} == "alpha" ||
${MACHINE_ARCH} == "mips").

It should _probably_ be safe to use the lorder.sh.gnm script with the
NetBSD native nm, but i'm not 100% sure.  If it is indeed safe, then
lorder.sh.gnm could replace lorder.sh.
