binutils/binutils: companion libraries are not used

GNU binutils does not use the companion libraries, although
./configure advertises switches for them. This is because the
configure file is shared between different packages, and is
a bit 'lax' about what it checks. See:

    11       The sstrip utility, to maximise the striping of ELF binaries

    12       (executables and libraries).

    13       

    14       Buildroot version, forked off the original from ELFkickers.

    15       This one is somewhat maintained by the buildroot guys.

    16       Supports big-endian systems.

    17       

    18       NOTE! Please read.

    19         sstrip is now deprecated in crosstool-NG, as it has a few

    20         shortcomings. For example: it breaks for PPC targets, it

    21         does not build on non-ELF hosts (eg. mingw32, MacOS-X...).
