    Dear managers,

    thanks to

    Baranyai Pal <bp@hszk.bme.hu>

    who helped me remember that the GNU strip utility has issues on
    Solaris. After doing

            mv /usr/local/bin/strip /usr/local/bin/stripper

    to make sure the SUN strip is used everything built and worked like a
    charm.

    Regards,

        Andreas
