'-lots' links against libots, which provides a number of mathematical
functions (IIRC). You can get it from Compaq, too.
'strip libcpml_ev5.so' is actually intended to be a separate command that
removes the symbols from the shared library, to reduce the amount of space
it needs in memory and on the harddisk.

Hope this helps,
