Hi, it would be easier if you just
provide the newly stripped binary.
I'll see if it works.
But I can as well try the path.
However:

Have you considered to spare the
'--strip-debug' case from any possible
heuristic, so that it only  strips debug
sections?
I think your check should only apply to
the normal strip process, but '--strip-debug'
remains broken. It needs to keep any relocs,
regardless of how safe is that.
What do you think?
