Actually, doing this breaks dynamically linked executables on Mac OS X
in some cases. Specifically, if a program contains a runtime trace goal
condition and you strip the executable, then dyld cannot find the symbol
corresponding to the global variable emitted in the _init.c file for
that runtime condition.
I'm going to disable this until I find a way of stripping executables
that doesn't break them. (If you *really* want to strip exectuables
on Mac OS X you'll have to do so manually for now.)
Cheers,
Julien.
