--- Comment #2 from Nick Clifton <nickc at redhat dot com> ---
Hi Oliver,
Thanks for reporting this problem. The bug was a simple omission of the M
character from the string of supported options in the strip code. I have
checked in a small patch to fix this.
As for not including the default options in the --help output - I do not
think that this would be a good idea. It is important that --help lists all of
the supported options, as a user may need to return a program to its default
behaviour. This can happen for example when a build system automatically
generates a command line to invoke a tool, but the user needs to override the
build system's defaults.
Listing all of the supported options is also helpful in a case like the -M
option to strip, where there is no equivalent short form of the negated option.
So if --no-merge-notes were to be displayed, but --merge-notes (and -M) were
not, then the user would have no idea that the -M option was supported.
Cheers
Nick
