While I don't know anything about that L stuff, some pointers...
nm is on my system, though it is not the GNU version, but I am not sure
if it cannot do the same job (no idea what --radix=d does).
You might want to try Linux emulation, but from the look of this, this
might be difficult.
So, I'm guessing you'll have to either run some heavy emulation stuff
(like qemu), port it to build on OpenBSD, or just install Linux.
