Rob, can you help? I don't know all the details here, but I believe that Guile uses the ELF format, for its byte-compiled files, and they *are* ELF files, but they're not "normal" executables. They contain Guile VM byte code, data sections, etc. And as such, I assume they're not strippable, at least not in the typical sense.
