I downloaded binutils-011009.tar.bz2 and compiled it with gcc 3.0.1.
The results when stripping 'strings' from the same package are still
the same:

No, just a plain 'strip'.

To be sure I recompiled the whole distribution with Solaris cc (Workshop cc 5.0)
but nothing changes... I checked the patches on my Solaris box but it is quite
well patched and considering that strip fails with cc and gcc I suspect that
something with the source could be wrong.

Cheers & have a nice day
