Keep in mind that I had some problems with Linux version of strip
when running it on windows dlls.
I think the mingw version (usually called i386-pc-mingw32-strip or similar)
is better in that regard.
Also, it's usually safe to use --strip-debug and --strip-unneeded
on libraries, but simply using strip without arguments will damage them.
