If you can figure out what section that string is in (.comment maybe?) you can use

strip -R .comment (or whatever section name)

to remove that section from the binary.

gcc on Ubuntu 10.10 for x86 doesn't seem to put any extraneous strings in the binaries.

You can remove it using a hex editor. And may i ask why do you want to remove it??
