I have an object code which is about 4.8 MB long, about 4.2MB of which is
the symbol table.  Most of the code was compiled under BSD, but some
is compiled under Aegis.  The final object is produced with the bind
command.

Supposedly, the BSD command "strip" should be able to remove the symbol
table entries from this object.  When I try, however, I get
a "strip: filename: relocation entries; cannot strip"

What does this mean and how do I work around it (or is there a better
solution?)  The file certainly has relocation entries, but I thought
that was one of the things strip was supposed to take care of.

Any solution which does not require me to do anything with the BSD
objects would be greatly appreciated.
