Summary: Cannot find ELF

Dear managers,

thanks to

Baranyai Pal <bp@hszk.bme.hu>

who helped me remember that the GNU strip utility has issues on 
Solaris. After doing

	mv /usr/local/bin/strip /usr/local/bin/stripper

to make sure the SUN strip is used everything built and worked like a 
charm.

Regards,

    Andreas
