Sorry, please ignore this question. I misunderstood just now and thought 
there should be two file nlist and test-nlist need to locate in the 
current working directory.

And I noticed the source code and already run as "./test-nlist", but 
Seems it doesn't work as expected.
# ./test-nlist
# echo $?
1
# ./test-nlist -d
nl[0].n_name = "var"
nl[0].n_value = 0
nl[0].n_scnum = 0
nl[0].n_type = 0
nl[0].n_sclass = 0
nl[0].n_numaux = 0

nl[1].n_name = "bss"
nl[1].n_value = 0
nl[1].n_scnum = 0
nl[1].n_type = 0
nl[1].n_sclass = 0
nl[1].n_numaux = 0

nl[2].n_name = "main"
nl[2].n_value = 0
nl[2].n_scnum = 0
nl[2].n_type = 0
nl[2].n_sclass = 0
nl[2].n_numaux = 0

nl[3].n_name = "foo"
nl[3].n_value = 0
nl[3].n_scnum = 0
nl[3].n_type = 0
nl[3].n_sclass = 0
nl[3].n_numaux = 0

nl[4].n_name = "not-there"
nl[4].n_value = 0
nl[4].n_scnum = 0
nl[4].n_type = 0
nl[4].n_sclass = 0
nl[4].n_numaux = 0
# echo $?
1
