	Nothing happens.

	GNU STRIP:
		...discards all symbols from the object files objfile.  The 
		list of object files may include archives.  At least one object file 
		must be given.

	Basically, you're removing excess data from the executable, empty 
strings, debugging strings.  This will make your executable much smaller, 
more compact, and in some cases faster.  As far as the MOO goes, you 
won't see any effects of this at all.
