[Buildroot] mklibs.py has problem on gdbserver

[林建安]

Hi there,
I am trying to shrink the libraries by using mklibs.py, which is from
buildroot/toolchain/mklibs.
It can work on almost all of the dynamic-linked APs in addition to
gdbserver.
The platform is of MIPSEL. I tried to see if the x86 executable file of
gdbserver has the same problem, and the answer is yes.
Anybody know what the problem is?

The gdbserver is from GNU gdb-6.8.
The log is as following:
     ../bin/mklibs.py -v    -d trimlib /tmp/gdbserver
    I: Using ld-linux.so.2 as dynamic linker.
    I: library reduction pass 1
