[hjl at lucon dot org]

bash-3.1$ make
touch x.s
as   -o x.o x.s
readelf -S x.o
There are 7 section headers, starting at offset 0x70:

Section Headers:

Key to Flags:
  W (write), A (alloc), X (execute), M (merge), S (strings)
  I (info), L (link order), G (group), x (unknown)
  O (extra OS processing required) o (OS specific), p (processor specific)
strip -R .text -R .data -R .bss x.o -o y.o
strip: there are no sections to be copied!
make: *** [y.o] Error 1

I don't think strip should complain here.
