I tried brandelfing, but that didn't work.  There's some weird symbols
in there:

00000000      DF *UND*  00000023  GLIBC_2.0   fprintf
00000000      DF *UND*  000000f8  GLIBC_2.0   fflush
00000000      DF *UND*  000001b4  GLIBC_2.0   malloc
00000000      DF *UND*  00000058  GLIBC_2.0   memmove
00000000      DO *UND*  00000004  GLIBC_2.0   stderr
00000000      DF *UND*  0000020d  GLIBC_2.0   abort
00000000      DF *UND*  00000027  GLIBC_2.0   memcpy
00000000  w   DF *UND*  000000ac  GLIBC_2.1.3 __cxa_finalize
00000000      DF *UND*  00000043  GLIBC_2.0   memset

So it looks like I'm close...  objcopy -R kept the GLIBC_* references
in place, alas, so that didn't work, as suggested elsewhere in this
thread.

The above list is small, but has hree bad entries: fprintf, fflush and
stderr.  So that may present a problem for me if these functions are
ever called.
