But isn't eu-elfcmp supposed to report that it matches? If I take a copy
of a vmlinux file I happen to have lying around, then run eu-strip on it

-- and it _shouldn't_, should it?

Which problems are those? It would be good to get this resolved ASAP so
that we can start building the kernel again...
