[Pythonmac-SIG] py2app error with /usr/bin/strip

[Bob Ippolito]

As I said, it's some bug in macholib that causes it to produce an
executable that isn't formed correctly. The fix for the problem is to
find and fix whatever bug this happens to be in macholib. Personally I
won't have time to look at this problem for a while.
