I know there's an issue with the 'strip' command destroying
static library files on the mips64 architecture.

(https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191587)

It appears, based on what's on my ERL (EdgeRouter Lite), that
the 'strip' binary there is from binutils.

Has anybody tried compiling and using the 'elftoolchain'
version of strip for this machine?
