Since I added comparing of the test image, we have seen some
intermittent compare failures in the baseline compare builds we run. The
root cause of these failures are that the native libraries in the test
image are not stripped of debug information, like the product native
libraries are. Non stripped libraries are notoriously hard to build in a
reproducible way, so I'm fixing this by simply stripping the test
libraries before comparing them on the affected platforms.
On Linux, only the gtest version of libjvm.so needs to be stripped. On
Solaris and macosx, all libraries and executables need it. By stripping
them, we no longer need to skip the simple binary diff check.
I have run the baseline compare builds at least 3 times on each platform
with this change without seeing failures.
