Was this actually tested?

ERROR: runstrip: ''arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-strip' --strip-debug --remove-section=.comment --remove-section=.note --preserve-dates '/home/pokybuild/yocto-autobuilder/yocto-worker/nightly-arm/build/build/tmp/work/armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi/kmod/18+gitAUTOINC+ae58de0fcb-r0/package/usr/lib/kmod/ptest/testsuite/rootfs/test-depmod/detect-loop/lib/modules/4.4.4/kernel/moduleA.ko'' strip command failed

INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP isn't a per-package variable as stripping happens before the package-splitting.   Moving it to happen after splitting won't be trivial as you'd need to know what package to put the resultant files into.  Maybe we need a strip blacklist?

One way to solve this is to pack the ptest “sample” files during install (in do_install_append) and unpack back when running ptest on target (in run-ptest). The downside of this is we add a dependency on tar.
Please let me know if it is acceptable and I’ll come with a patch for this.
Regards,
Tudor.
