No.

[rathann@neoburza:/opt/builder/toolchain/bin]% cp strip strip.copy
[rathann@neoburza:/opt/builder/toolchain/bin]% ./strip --strip-unneeded strip
Bus error (core dumped)
[rathann@neoburza:/opt/builder/toolchain/bin]% cp strip.copy strip
[rathann@neoburza:/opt/builder/toolchain/bin]% ./strip.copy --strip-unneeded strip

[rathann@neoburza:/opt/builder/toolchain/bin]% file strip
strip: ELF 64-bit MSB executable, SPARC V9, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

Not yet. I don't have gdb installed on that machine. I could, however,
send you the corefile itself. It's only 300k when gzipped.
