After a bit of poking around, I found out that the problem is caused by the
Andrew install program.  Apparently, if it is used on an executable and
there is no file extension (ie: no period in the filename), it is stripped
before installing.  Since some scripts fall into this catagory, a 'strip'
is attempted on them before installation.

Here are the scripts I could find without periods in the filename:

atk/text/ezpostprocess
atk/text/indexpro
atkams/messages/cmd/binopts
ams/demo/gendemo
ams/demo/amsdemo
config/linkinst
config/loginstall
overhead/genmake/mkgenmk
overhead/genmake/genmake


As far as I know, this doesn't cause any problems except a few harmless
error messages during compilation.  To fix it, however, would only entail
changing the names of the scripts.

This feature of the install program explains why I haven't gotten a
nonstripped version of runapp compiled yet, though.

BTW, what is the normal way you CMU people debug binaries that are
dynamically loaded?
