The purpose of @headercheck: should be documented sonewhere.
A simple way to do so would be to paste the content of the changelog that
describe it in the top of this file.

Can't we do this with a hdrchk$$$ filename to avoid using
random entropy for each compile?

Replace nm with {NM:-nm} to obtain correct NM when cross compiling.

Paste output of nm so one can see what is defined?
