IIRC, there's several levels of strip. One strips everything, save for

standalone binaries (not dependent on run-time linking with a library) and "safe". Safe leaves the external symbols intact so that the loader can tell what linkages are needed. I don't remember the parameters, but the manual should tell you.
I *think* that some symbols are needed for loadable modules for both the kernel linkage and any references to shared libraries that might be used. Again, I'm unsure now - to many decaeds have passed since I dinked with this stuff.
