Yes.

This is somewhat interesting:

powerpc-440-linux-gnu-strip openbios-qemu.elf
BFD: st4PszLi: warning: allocated section `.bss' not in segment
BFD: st4PszLi: warning: allocated section `.sbss' not in segment

The "nostrip" version of openbios-qemu.elf looks much better:

Program Headers:
  Type           Offset   VirtAddr   PhysAddr   FileSiz MemSiz  Flg Align
  LOAD           0x000094 0xfff00000 0xfff00000 0x42044 0x4bcb4 RWE 0x4
  LOAD           0x0420d8 0xfffffffc 0xfffffffc 0x00004 0x00004 R E 0x1
  GNU_STACK      0x000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000 0x00000 RWE 0x4

 Section to Segment mapping:
  Segment Sections...
   00     .text.vectors .text .rodata .data .sdata 
   01     .romentry 
   02     

So something goes wrong in the strip process.
