Hi
The tool sstrip in staging_dir/host/bin/ seems to causing some minor
issue on the stripped binaries. Those binaries are able to run properly
and I haven't found any problem. But when I check some of the stripped
libraries I got
xw...@freeman-lptp1:~/openwrt$ file

There are no sections in this file.

This simple change fixes the issue.

However, I did notice that the stripped binaries are slightly smaller,
maybe 1%, when sstrip is used. So I wonder if anybody in this group knew
this 'corrupted' ELF header issue and thinks it is deliberately done so.
It seems odd that we use $(TARGET_CROSS)nm but do not use the target
specific strip tool when it is available though, even with a slightly
size benefit.
Thanks
