strip doesn't check machine type

[David Meggy]

Subject pretty much says it all

If I were to run "strip myprog", instead of "arm-linux-strip myprog" on
an x86 and myprog was an arm program, then the resulting elf header
would change from Machine: arm to Machine: none.

Maybe strip should first check the machine type, and if it doesn't match
the machine type it was built for it would exit without modifying the
file.
