It may be the strip. I think the problem is that before you start to
symlink, you have empty directory slots before your lib, so that's where
the symlinks get put.
The following should always work on ext2 filesystems:
Before doing the symlinks, move everything from that directory to a temp
directory. Then, move everything back.
Hmm. Isn't there a way tar can be fed the list of files the archive should
contain? That might be a better fix than relying on file system order. The
OS/2 (that's what I've currently booted) version of GNU tar does this with
-Y and -T, it seems.
