Umm, do you mean with the -V option ?  If so then I get:

  /usr/ccs/bin/sparcv9/strip: Software Generation Utilities (SGU) Solaris-ELF 
(4.0)

Does this mean that we have different compiler tools installed on our
Solaris systems ?

Which is exactly what I have too.

I think that it must be a problem with the tools that we are using to
build strip.  My system has gcc installed before cc in my path, so I
build using gcc v2.96 (well a close variant of that actually...).  Is
it possible for you to try rebuilding the binutils tools using an
installed copy of gcc instead of cc ?
