There seems to be two strategys for elf binaries right now. The 'mips ecoff'
variant that loads text at 0x400000 and data at 0x10000000, and the i belive
cygnys 'a.out' variant with text at 0x1000 and data aligned to the next
page. Strip fails badly on the 'a.out' variant, but works on the 'ecoff'.

I started to try to find out but gave up and started to use the 'ecoff' load
map instead.
