The "or die" is intended to catch the case where nm returned a
non-zero exit status, so nm will already have printed some error
messages. $! doesn't appear to have a useful value at this point. How
about the attached, which gives:

$ GenLibDeps.pl -flat lib
/usr/local/bin/nm: lib/libLLVMfoo.a: File format not recognized
nm  failed at /home/foad/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk/utils/GenLibDeps.pl line 69

?

Thanks,
Jay.
