(ld issue?)
Hi Peter,
> I'm not sure were to get "a strip built from the current mainline binutils

The sources are under CVS control and can be checked out via the
procedure documented here:
http://sourceware.org/binutils
There is no real need for you to do this though, as I have checked
myself and these mainline sources also have the problem.
I do not know the cause yet, but at least one aspect of the problem is
that the corrupt stripped binaries have a bogus .interp section. (Try
running 'readelf -l' on them to see this). The bug is something to do
with how the BFD library is regenerating the program headers after
various sections have been stripped out of the binary.
I have tracked the huge size increase down to H.J.'s patch for PR 2258,
but I do not know yet what, if anything, is wrong with that patch. Nor
do I know if the huge size increase is actually a problem. After all on
a file system that supports holes, the huge stripped binaries do not
actually take up more disk space than their tiny brethren.
Cheers
Nick
