Hmm...I can't recall right now why we chose to not strip it. You could always give it a go and see what happens. I'll dig through some old notes and see if I can come up with an answer as to why we did that. I seem to recall that it had to be unstripped when our toolchain wasn't as mature, but I'm not sure.
