strip: Cannot manipulate object-file created with ghc-7.2.0.20110728 under solaris

When I try to strip a binary created with ghc-7.2.0.20110728 under solaris I get:

-bash-3.00$ strip H
strip: H: Warning: Cannot delete section (.debug-ghc-link-info)
                from a segment.
H: WARNING: strip: Cannot manipulate file.

This causes any installation of binaries using cabal to fail:
