I do not understand why you think this is a makepkg bug. If the executable breaks, there is likely something wrong with it. For example, AppImage files are executables with faked sections that actually contain compressed archives which the /usr/bin/strip program tries to remove.

If the executable isn't broken, it would still be a bug in strip, not makepkg.

Sorry I didn't realize that strip was a separate tool.
