In my experience executables that are not stripped at all work fine.
My experience was that building with the `-s' option on either Windows
95 or NT produced executables that would not run on NT.  There is a
difference between using the `-s' link option and using strip after
linking; in my experience the latter worked on NT, while the former
didn't.
