--- Comment #8 from Nick Clifton <nickc at redhat dot com> ---
Sorry - I do not think that this is going to happen.
Using section flags has been vetoed because there are too many different ways
to strip a binary, and not enough flags to encompass them all.
Using extended section types might help, but even then you need to persuade the
maintainers of all the different strip tools to agree on which section types
map to which stripping modes. Plus when new section types are added you have
to go through the whole process again.
All of the strip tools do provide mechanisms for explicitly specifying which
sections should be removed, so for now that will have to do.
