Ok here we go.  Recompiled with strip instead of sstrip.  Now Emacs is
killed by the OOM killer when attempting to dump :(

  emacs -Q --batch --eval \
        '(dump-emacs "./demacs" "/usr/bin/emacs")'
  [..]
  Loading vc-hooks...
  Loading ediff-hook...
  Finding pointers to doc strings...
  Finding pointers to doc strings...done
  Killed

652...")
