That’s not what I see here.  Given hello.c containing a “Hello, world!” program:

  $ make hello
  cc     hello.c   -o hello
  $ nm hello.exe | wc -l
  389

If I strip the exe, I get “No symbols,” as expected.  There’s no reason a finished executable should have much in the way of exported symbols without debug info, since it is self-contained.  You would only expect to get useful output from nm on a stripped binary if it’s an object file or a DLL.
