I take it you're building using some sort of cross-compile environment... If
so, make sure that you're using the cross-build tools rather than the host
strip.

Have you tried just copying the binaries across to the Solaris machine and
seeing if they work correctly?  The problem might be occurring earlier than
the final strip.

You can also try comparing the ELF headers and making sure they're sane.
