I haven't solved the problem yet but found more and interesting info.
The sun strip seems to be broken somehow. I wrote a file hello.c

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
         printf("Hello World!\n");
         exit(0);
         return 0;
}

and then did:

bash-2.03$ gcc -B/usr/ccs/bin -o hello hello.c
bash-2.03$ ./hello
Hello World!

bash-2.03$ strip hello
BFD: stmRa49S: warning: allocated section `.interp' not in segment
bash-2.03$ ./hello
hello: Cannot find ELF
Killed

bash-2.03$ strip hello
bash-2.03$ ./hello
Hello World!

These "... not in segmen" messages appeared ofetn during building tetex
so it must be related. Any idea how to fix that or what the above
results mean?

Regards,

    Andreas
