I didn't mean to say we should rely on this; I meant to say that for
some it may work, for some it may not, and thus MUST NOT BE USED.

So to summarize:

- The OpenEmbedded solution is to patch the Makefiles to remove the
"-s" flag from the install targets.
- This approach is best as the stripping is then done neatly during
packaging the debug strip-off.
