I've recently rebuilt my system from a pre-6.0 document base to a recent 
SVN-20050219 release. I was stuck with that strip induced libc.a problem too.  
I did manage to get away from that trap by re-starting the whole compiles yet 
an other time.  That means that while 

http://lfs.osuosl.org/lfs/view/development/

cites the standard method of doing two passes in chapter 5 to make the 
temporary system... I did something like 3 passes if I remember.  I forgot if I 
did use the gcc and libs from the previous /tools,  I should have written my 
steps down back then. I thought only me with my faith in cvs/svn releases were 
the ones to be caught.

While I have stripped my binaries, I haven't stripped my libs ever again. I 
guess I can do it now.
