[PATCH] fix alpha objstrip.c compilation warnings

[PATCH] fix alpha objstrip.c compilation warnings

[Meelis Roos]

In current 2.6.23-rc1+git, make bootimage gives the following warnings 
while compiling objstrip.c. The patch below fixes these warnings by 
casting strncmp argument to char * - it does not seem feasible to change 
its type in struct elfhdr.
