BUG: binutils: strip -o

[Eric Tittley]

Hi,

The functionality of the command:
strip -o newfile oldfile
has been lost.

strip -h
indicates that it is a valild option.

The version is:
# strip --version
GNU strip 2.11.2

The patch to restore functionality is trivial, since it seems that
the 'o' option was just dropped from the list of valid options 
passed to getopt_long.
