This is my mistake when I gave you the example. Indeed one must use
`objcopy' since strip strips also, by default, symbols (and modules are
supposed to be linked, so this is not really a great idea...).
Debug symbols can be stripped, since the debug symbol table is
not the same as the symbol table used by the linker. But I'm not quite sure
about your '-x' option. So try the following :
objcopy -g -R .comment -R note <object>
