--- Comment #1 from Ed Maste <emaste@freebsd.org> ---
GNU strip behaves the same way, and I would suggest using objcopy instead. =
GNU
strip's man page reports that -R <sectionnme> removes "any section named
<sectionname> from the output file, in addition to whatever sections would
otherwise be removed."

WRT ELF Tool Chain strip, it appears it defaults to STRIP_ALL (-s) unless o=
ne
of these options is set:
-S,-g,-d, --only-keep-debug, --strip-unneeded, -x, -X, -N

It seems to me that -R should be included in the list, and that the behavio=
ur
currently provided by -R should instead be obtained with -R -s, but that wo=
uld
be a divergence from GNU strip that we probably do not want to have.
