+Subject: [PATCH] strip "-R .note.gnu.property" at more places.
+
+For whatever reason, sometimes I see:
+
+    lzma_decompress.image:     file format elf32-i386
+    lzma_decompress.image
+    architecture: i386, flags 0x00000012:

+    start address 0x00008200

+       STACK off    0x00000000 vaddr 0x00000000 paddr 0x00000000 align 2**4

+    Sections:
+    Idx Name          Size      VMA       LMA       File off  Algn
+      0 .note.gnu.property 0000001c  080480b4  080480b4  00000bd0  2**2
+                      CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA
+      1 .text         00000b10  00008200  00008200  000000c0  2**5
+                      CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, CODE
+    SYMBOL TABLE:
+    080480b4 l    d  .note.gnu.property	00000000 .note.gnu.property
+    00008200 l    d  .text	00000000 .text
+    00000000 l    df *ABS*	00000000 startup_raw.S
+    ...
+
+Which just looks wrong no matter what to my eyes (seriously it's at
+128M? Why?), and when we fail to strip it, we get:
+
+trillian:~/tmp/f29$ hexdump -C usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/lzma_decompress.img | tail -6
+00000b00  ff 45 e8 5a 83 c2 02 89  d1 e9 df fe ff ff 66 90  |.E.Z..........f.|

+0803fed0
+
+Which is very very much not what we want.
+
+Cut it out.
