Wow.  I've wanted this for a while, and VC has done it for years (at least
since 1998)--it's a little disappointing that this has apparently been
around for a couple years and still isn't mainline (/usr/bin/strip shows
no sign of the -f option mentioned in the info page found from your
google search).  I had no idea it was even implemented, though.

(Aha: the strip tool mentioned is in elfutils, which is non-free.  Blah.)
