So I agree that it's a bug in binutils that this produces incorrect
output.  

I don't think it's necessarily a bug that a generic ELF strip program is
unable to strip all ARM ELF binary files.  This is particularly true for
unlinked object files that can contain additional sections that refer to
the symbol section.
