There is a bug in strip on mips; it doesn't strip static libraries
properly. I am using this as a (very crude) workaround:

--- a/contrib/binutils/binutils/objcopy.c
+++ b/contrib/binutils/binutils/objcopy.c
@@ -2754,6 +2754,9 @@ strip_main (int argc, char *argv[])
 	  continue;
 	}
 
+      if (fnmatch("*.a", argv[i], 0) == 0)
+	continue;
+
       if (preserve_dates)
 	/* No need to check the return value of stat().
 	   It has already been checked in get_file_size().  */

There isn't much point stripping static libs anyway, given that the
final executable is going to be stripped again.
