Nothing happens.
GNU STRIP:
...discards all symbols from the object files objfile. The
list of object files may include archives. At least one object file
must be given.
Basically, you're removing excess data from the executable, empty
strings, debugging strings. This will make your executable much smaller,
more compact, and in some cases faster. As far as the MOO goes, you
won't see any effects of this at all.
