Marcin hit a dead end, determining that there was insufficient architecture information available in the object files to tell strip to leave them alone. Loïc says Mark Mitchell considers it a binutils bug, but we don't know how he expects to remedy this. I think we need the Toolchain WG to pick this up.

FWIW, the CodeSourcery folks in Linaro are working at Michael's direction; if Michael wants them to work on this issue, they'll be happy to do so.

It is theoretically possible that there's insufficient information for strip to know what it's looking at, but I'd be very surprised; there should be an ELF header field that indicates the machine type.

Thanks,
