RHEL-6 does not have a nasm version that is recent enough to build edk2.
RHEL-6 ships nasm-2.07-*, but edk2 requires nasm-2.10 or later with the
GCC toolchain family.

Please see this mailing list thread:
https://www.mail-archive.com/edk2-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxx/msg14420.html

And the resultant docs commit:
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/commit/9c4dbdff1d56

... Before anyone suggests otherwise, this was not a gratuitous version
requirement bump. The edk2 assembly code had already been there, the
nasm version bump only documented the status, after the fact.

For RHEL-6 specifically, I suggest to grab a recent enough nasm SRPM
from Fedora Koji, and rebuild / install that locally. Better yet, I
recommend upgrading to RHEL-7, whose nasm is good enough.

Thanks
Laszlo
