After trying very hard to bring up X on a Sun-2, and seeing it run on
a 3 for added motivation, Bob Sutterfield and I have a very simple fix
to get Xsun running on a 2: Don't strip the binary.  That's it.  I
don't know exactly why it dosn't work striped, but this fixes it.

 *Sigh*, I wish all bugs were this easy to fix...
