Yes, strip is behaving differently. I'm working on this now, trying to
update the BFD stuff that was broken in 2.9.1.0.15 (had to revert to
2.9.1.0.13's version). Logically, the code seems good, but just calls the
abort() that it falls back on every single time.
I'll let you know if this changes soon (doubt it without help from H.J. Lu,
whom I'm writing this week).
