Broken .exe files?

Some time ago I sent a request to the group regarding broken .exe files being produced by the gnu compiler.
I am still stuck and would appreciate help in tracking the problem down.
The system I have produces a large .exe file - around 6 meg. The major part of this is a library which it links with
As a standard libxxx.a file. When I try to run it I get an error indicating something wrong with the executable.
It is not specific - error 0.
The file is not a valid executable. If I strip the executable it shrinks and becomes perfectly well behaved.
I am really confused.
Is there any way of checking the executable?
Has anyone else experienced this?
Would building a dll for the library and dynamically loading it help?
All suggestions would be much appreciated.
