Improve the (cross-)build experience especially with LLVM (#353)

* Suppress clang warnings caused by boost headers

* Make binutils selectable via environment variables

Some build environments specify what tools to use via environment variables.

e.g. NM could be 'x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-nm' when cross-compiling

* Use llvm-nm friendly non-short format value

LLVM's nm implementaion (llvm-nm) wants the entire string to match.
It doesn't allow just 'p' it wants 'posix'.

- https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/llvmorg-21.1.3/llvm/tools/llvm-nm/llvm-nm.cpp#L2435-L2448

The nm implementations from GNU binutils and FreeBSD parse the format
argument value only by looking at the first character.
They are accept both 'p' and 'posix'.
