Description 
In dtraceing unlink() and unlinkat() calls, I kept getting errors on the pathname
arguments while running nightly; I traced this back to mcs/strip, which call
unlink on pathnames which may well be (and often are) NULL.

The obvious fix is to change "unlink(path)" to "if (path) unlink(path);".
