i was building statically the latest busybox binary on amd64 and when i went
to strip it, strip segfaulted on me
normally i use binutils 2.16.1, but i found 2.16.91.0.5 and the 060131
snapshot bombed out the same way
i'd attach the binary but it's about 2megs :)

I get a segfault on 2.16.91 (20051206) strip from cross binutils for
em64t on i686 host.
i got others to verify various Gentoo systems, but i dont have any
Debian/Fedora amd64 chroots around so can someone else check to make sure
this isnt just a screw up on my end ? just running `strip busybox` would
segfault in libbfd.so _bfd_elf_compute_section_file_positions() ...
