Then I would argue that strip should be a no-op and leave the size of cygwin1.dll unchanged, rather than stripping out whatever was essential that made the dll invalid. It is not a bug in your philosophy of shipping cygwin1.dll already stripped, but it IS annoying that binutils can't recognize that fact and instead corrupts the file. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
