            Bug ID: 26060
           Summary: When configured without a specific target 'strip'
                    corrupts the first archive member
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.32
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

When you configure binutils for example without support for the avr target
then invoking strip on an archive does

> strip test.a
strip: Unable to recognise the format of the input file
`test.a(f7_c_get_s64.o)'

note it fails to print the same message for the first archive member which
is then corrupted, diff of the ELF header:

the header of the second archive member is OK.
