Am I correct in thinking that Catalina is the latest version of Mac OS X? If so, congratulations, you have (probably) been the first person to test Perl 5 blead thereon.
Your prize for being first is that you get to investigate this bug on your own machine.
t/porting/libperl.t contains instructions for debugging its own failures. Have you tried any of them?
In particular, once having built perl, you might try stepping through the file with the new perl's debugger, paying particular attention to this 'if' block wherein the exception is thrown.

578 if (defined $nm_err_tmp) {
579 if (open(my $nm_err_fh, $nm_err_tmp)) {
580 my $error;
581 while (<$nm_err_fh>) {
582 # OS X has weird error where nm warns about
583 # "no name list" but then outputs fine.
584 if (/nm: no name list/ && $^O eq 'darwin') {
585 print "# $^O ignoring $nm output: $_";
586 next;
587 }
588 warn "$0: Unexpected $nm error: $_";
589 $error++;
590 }
591 die "$0: Unexpected $nm errors\n" if $error;
592 } else {
593 warn "Failed to open '$nm_err_tmp': $!\n";
594 }
595 }

Thank you very much.
