Hello.

The other day I ran strip with the '--strip-debug' option on a library.
The library I ran it had several files named 'init.o' within. I found that
after stripping, there was only one file called 'init.o'. Is strip
supposed to work this way? It seems counter-intuitive to me that strip
would rewrite the archive's table o'contents (TOC).

Bye,
