Description of problem:
The following fails to strip the target file:
strip --strip-debug -R .comment $file
While
strip --strip-debug $file && strip -R .comment $file
works as expected.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.execute strip --strip-debug -R .comment $file
2.Check the target file, it is not stripped.
3.
	

Actual Results:  The given file contains no debug symbols, and processing
appears to stop at that point.The -R .comment flag appears to be ignored.
The man page indicates that --strip-debug removes debugging symbols only, but
makes no mention of ignoring any remaining flags.

Expected Results:  The .comment field should have been stripped.

Additional info:

This is entered at the request of a Red Hat developer. While building an rpm
package, I found that the executables were not stripped. The command used in the
specfile is:
strip --strip-debug -R .comment $file
Changing the command to:
--strip-debug $file && strip -R .comment $file
Works as expected.
