Greetings,

I found that strip -N fails when using it to remove a single symbol from
the object code generated by pcc:

$ strip -N main sut.o -o _sut.o 
BFD: _sut.o: symbol `main' required but not present
strip: _sut.o: No symbols

#GCC 3.3.5
$ nm sut.o 
         U __stack_smash_handler
         U __guard
         U atoi
         U printf
00000000 T square
00000000 F sut.c
0000000b T main

#pcc 0.9.9
$ nm sut.o
         U atoi
00000010 T main
         U printf
00000000 T square

Is this because binutils is fragile?
