Hi Guillermo,

The strip tool already has the --keep-section=<NAME> command line option to
specify that section <NAME> should not be stripped.  Similarly it also has
--remove-section=<NAME> to specify that <NAME> must be removed.

Are you asking for strip to be able to keep or remove sections based upon
their attributes, rather than their names ?  I fail to see the utility of 
this, but perhaps you could provide an example of how it might work ?

Cheers
