 > stripped and libpthread required to be non-stripped for correct debugging with
 > gdb of multi-threaded apps).

 > So there're few problems with current implementation:
 >  1. uClibc is being stripped 2 times (first on its build stage, second on
 >     global Buildroot strip stage)
 >  2. uClibc libs in "staging" folder are also always stripped except if
 >     "no strip" (BR2_STRIP_none) is explicitly is selected in Buildroot config.
 >     That makes it possible to remote debug uClibc libs on target only if target
 >     rootfs was not stripped (which might not be possible due to huge libs
 >     like Qt)

 > This patch disables embedded strip in uClibc (still users may modify uClibc
 > config and explicitly set "DOSTRIP=yes" if really needed).

 > Interesting that DOSTRIP was not only selected in uClibc config but also was
 > force set with Buildroot on uClibc configuration step with UCLIBC_STRIP_CONFIG.
