Having looked at the involved code in that utility, I mistrust its output from such a conversion to really be an exact representation of the input. IOW I'd much rather use the original file. As a possible compromise, could we perhaps merely strip debug info, but retain the symbol table, matching the prior default for $(efi-strip-opt)? Jan
