readelf -a -w doesn't report any warnings/errors.

i'm sure it's not a cisco product.
it was compiled with sun workshop studio.

i've checked an older version (2.15) of binutils and it works.

current 2.16 fails...

$ sparc-sun-solaris2.9-strip libcmodel.so -v --strip-unneeded
sparc-sun-solaris2.9-strip: libcmodel.so: File format not recognized

so, strip with older (2.15) version...

$ /usr/local/solaris-cross/bin/sparc-sun-solaris2.8-strip libcmodel.so \
  -v --strip-unneeded
copy from libcmodel.so(elf32-sparc) to stCGYfYS(elf32-sparc)

...and test again with 2.16...

$ sparc-sun-solaris2.9-strip libcmodel.so -v --strip-unneeded
copy from `libcmodel.so' [elf32-sparc] to `stopZxTe' [elf32-sparc]
BFD: stopZxTe: warning: allocated section `.bss' not in segment

library stripped by 2.15 doesn't contain some information:
