When rebuilding the packs I apparently ran into a bunch of cases of
problems with "strip" under IRIX 6.2.  This affects:

	* Many krb5 programs:
		kdb5_util
		kadmind
		v5passwdd
		kprop or kpropd
		klist
		sclient
		Maybe one of rsh or rcp or rlogin
		v4rcp
		One of kshd and klogind
		gss-server
		telnet
	* named-xfer (from BIND), but not named itself
	* zaway and znol
	* olc

Bob is theoretically looking at this, but couldn't reproduce the
problem so I don't know how far he can get just now.  We could work
around this in the release by making sure we don't install and
stripped binaries on IRIX (mildly complicated, but not too difficult),
but obviously this is a serious OS bug we have to address anyway, so
I'm going to see how quickly we can solve it.

In the mean time, the Indy 8.2 packs are kind of debilitated.  I'll
see about manually installing unstripped binaries for many of those
programs until we can address the bug.
