<pre>
    The --strip-all-gnu option is intended to strip the same sections as GNU objcopy, but that doesn't seem to be quite happening. In particular, a SHF_ALLOC + SHT_SYMTAB section is not stripped by llvm-objcopy --strip-all-gnu, but is by objcopy --strip-all. There may be other similar cases for other section types.

Arguably, SHF_ALLOC sections should never be stripped, as this can have strange implications on the output, but as `--strip-all-gnu` is intended to provide 100% compatibility to support corner cases that are different between `llvm-objcopy --strip-all` and `objcopy --strip-app`, we should make sure we do actually match that behaviour correctly.
