Strip on mips

Hi,

I'm trying to debug why strip on mips isn't working properly.
What I see is that for the debug sections, sh_type is not set to
SHT_PROGBITS but to SHT_MIPS_DWARF.

The stripped file still ends up with the debug information it it,
and the file that is supposed to have the debug symbols in it
has it set to SHT_NOBITS, and is rather small.

I'm assuming this is because of the SHT_MIPS_DWARF.  I'm not sure
how to find where it's going wrong.
