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 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() ...
