strip does what it is supposed to do. In the usual C world, executables can contain lots of other information, e.g. debugging symbols etc. strip removes this additional information while it is not usually needed on production systems and take significant amount of space. However, you tried to create a self-contained sbcl executable application in one executable file. This means that the lisp image (usually a separate file) is concatenated to the executable file. If you run strip on this executable, it will remove the lisp image, breaking the application.
