The clisp executables are not stripped because apparently there's a
disassemble command within clisp that doesn't work if the executables
are stripped. I don't actually know anything about this, but there was
a comment about that in the .cygport file that I inherited from Reini.
This may or may not explain why maxima.exe didn't like being stripped.
