GNU strip discards all symbols from object files
objfile. The list of object files may include archives.
At least one object file must be given.
strip modifies the files named in its argument,
rather than writing modified copies under different names.

code format bfdname, and rewrite it in the same format.
--help
Show a summary of the options to strip and exit.
-Ibfdname
--input-target=bfdname
Treat the original objfile as a file with the object
code format bfdname.
-Obfdname
--output-target=bfdname
Replace objfile with a file in the output format bfdname.
