Hmmm, I must be misunderstanding something... are the 6 files above
byte-code binaries? They appear to me as being native ELF
binaries. I stripped them on my machine without any problem.

I don't see the problem with strip: since it does not recognize
byte-code files, it does not strip them.
% cp /usr/bin/ocamldep .
% file ocamldep
ocamldep: a /usr/bin/ocamlrun script text
% strip ocamldep
strip: ocamldep: File format not recognized
Did I miss something?
