We are fixing these as we do updates. There are a few ways to fix it. 
Our template has been updated so all submissions should be using the 
updated template in addition to using the approved version of the build
for all updates.

Replace:
( cd $PKG
  find . | xargs file | grep "executable" | grep ELF | cut -f 1 -d : | \
    xargs strip --strip-unneeded 2> /dev/null || true
  find . | xargs file | grep "shared object" | grep ELF | cut -f 1 -d : | \
    xargs strip --strip-unneeded 2> /dev/null 
)

With this:
( cd $PKG
  find . | xargs file | grep "executable" | grep ELF | cut -f 1 -d : | \
    xargs strip --strip-unneeded 2> /dev/null || true
  find . | xargs file | grep "shared object" | grep ELF | cut -f 1 -d : | \
    xargs strip --strip-unneeded 2> /dev/null || true
)

Or this:
find $PKG | xargs file | grep -e "executable" -e "shared object" | grep ELF \
  | cut -f 1 -d : | xargs strip --strip-unneeded 2> /dev/null || true

I prefer the latter.
