       GNU ssttrriipp discards all symbols from the object files  _o_b_j_-
       _f_i_l_e.   The list of object files may include archives.  At
       least one object file must be given.


       ssttrriipp modifies the files named  in  its  argument,  rather
       than writing modified copies under different names.
