After building and executing the package() function packaging fails when stripping files:

==> Tidying install...
-> Purging other files...
-> Compressing man and info pages...
-> Stripping unneeded symbols from binaries and libraries...
/usr/bin/strip:./usr/share/qemu/openbios-sparc64: File format not recognized

I don't know it !strip should be added to this package, or if it has something to do with Pacman 3.5.1; maybe Allan should be notified too.
This task depends upon

What does "file -bi /usr/share/qemu/openbios-sparc64" give?

$ file -bi pkg/usr/share/qemu/openbios-sparc64
application/x-executable; charset=binary

I have uploaded that file and the other 2 offending ones in case it helps diagnose the problem. Running "file" on them show some text saying "stripped" anyway even if !strip is specified due to a package dependent compilation setting. I think that for this package the !strip option is enough.
