BUG: Binutils strip corrupts dll files when using cygwin 1.5.18 and latest snapshot (20051103)

[Peter Rehley]

Hi,

After compiling a snapshot, I tried to strip the cygwin1.dll using  
the binutils strip command.  After I did this I started seeing this  
windows dialog box appear:

"ls.exe - Bad Image

The application or DLL F:\cygwin\home\peter\tmp\cygwin1.dll is not a  
valid Windows image.  Please check this against your installation  
diskette."

I first tried this on cygwin 1.5.18 using binutils 20050610.  I then  
updated my cygwin to the latest snapshot and tried again, and I got  
the same message.  I then tried rebuilding binutils, just to make  
sure it wasn't a binutils build issue, and received the same error  
message when I used this recompiled strip.

Let me know is you need additional information...cycheck output for  
snapshot is attached.
Peter
