It is a bug in buildroot, which we are tryuing to fix right now.
/home/nacho/Desktop/buildroot/build_i386/staging_dir/usr/bin/i386-linux-uclibc-gccbug
is not an executable binary, it is a script file and thus cannot be "stripped"

rename manually 
/home/nacho/Desktop/buildroot/build_i386/staging_dir/usr/bin/i386-linux-uclibc-gccbug

to
/home/nacho/Desktop/buildroot/build_i386/staging_dir/usr/bin/gccbug

and retry
