LLVM has a way to build tools that need to run on the build machine as part of the build (`tablegen` for example), `llvm-nm` could be added to that system and then it would be available when `extract_symbols.py` is run. It would be an issue if `llvm-nm` ever had to depend on `extract_symbols.py` but that is not currently the case afaik.
