binutils-12.2.1 strip corrupts Solaris binaries (.interp not in segment)?

[Darren Tucker]

Hello.
        I'm not quite sure where the fault lies here but I've found that GNU
strip will corrupt binaries linked by /usr/ccs/bin/ld on my Solaris 7 &
8 boxes.

        Both sets of boxes have very recent patch clusters (let me know if you
need exact details).

        Thanks,
                -Daz.
