Strip is encountering special SHN_MIPS_DATA symbols which are not 
supposed to be present in traditional MIPS BFD targets. Is everything 
you are linking in linked by the 2.19.1 linker, or is it possible you 
are linking against a library that was generated by the 6.3.2 toolchain.

Is it possible for you to create a test case for me to look at?
