strip also removes the symbol table, so linking is impossible. Give an
example of something that you were doing before that worked and now is
broken.
I've rechecked, linking seems to work as before, and absence of
SHT_ARM_ATTRIBUTES doesn't seem to affect it. All the rest is
not important, so there is no regression. Sorry for the noise.
