Looks like I never got to answer your mail. I wrote a stupid 10 lines bash program that tested every permission, and it seemed that both r and w were needed for strip. But IIRC, I did one test inside makepkg (so using fakeroot) and got different results. Actually I was probably so confused by the permissions I got in package built by makepkg that I completely gave up. Now I remember why I did not answer, I have only new confusions to bring...
