This is just packages from emdebian.org repository. Nothing to do with
emdebian-tools.

That doesn;t help in this instance. installing binutils multiarch
still has the nm segfault issue.
Hmm. in fact this may be something of a red herring: I don;t have
binutils-arm-linux installed but I do have the nm segfault.
$ arm-linux-gnu-nm -v -l bootldr-elf > bootldr.nm
Segmentation fault
$ arm-linux-nm -v -l bootldr-elf > bootldr.nm
bash: arm-linux-nm: command not found
Package: binutils-arm-linux-gnu
Version: 2.17cvs20070718-1
I _think_ this didn't happen with version 2.17cvs20070426 but it's
fallen out of the repo now, so I can't easily check. And 2.17.3 is too
old to satisfy current version of gcc-4.1-arm-linux-gnu.
I can do some manual forcing to try to get to the bottom of this, but
not right now.
