 Indeed, `strip' seems unable to remove dynamic symbol table entries, so I 
need to withdraw my alternative proposal.

 As to filtering out all absolute symbols as I noted I don't know what 
impact it may have across current targets and whether it may cause hassle 
in the future, so I have no opinion either.  If you think it's safe, then 
I won't object.
