src/

	* strip.c (handle_elf): Don't keep sections that kept symbol tables
	refer to.  Instead, just be sure to preserve the original symbol
	table in the debug file so those symbols go with their sections and
	can be elided from the stripped version of the symbol table.


tests/
	* testfile48.bz2, testfile48.bz2.debug: New data files.
	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add them.
	* run-strip-test8.sh: Use them.
