Interesting.  I just ran "plain strip", as that was what boost-build  
does.  If you are correct, that makes this a bug in boost.build.   
(I.e. boost.build is not calling strip with correct options.)

strip has no -g option on OS X.  Unfortunately I don't understand what  
strip does well enough to figure out what the correct options are.  If  
anyone cares to look at the documentation and send me suggestions, I'm  
happy to try them out and add them to the report I put in trac.  The  
manpage is here:

Thank you very much for your time.
