I agree.  Though I think it's a bug to *attempt* to strip, if you can't
do it right.  Either strip should be built with support for all
architectures and system, detect the architecture and system, and then
do the right thing -- or it should tell you it's not the right kind of
strip and punt.  It shouldn't blindly damage your object file when it
has enough information to know that it doesn't know what it's doing.
