kernel/linux: deprecate copying headers from pre-instaleld headers

No-one ever inquired about this feature. Due to the way it works, it is
rather unlikely that every user used a properly-formatted tarball, or a
properly structured directory as imput.

Beside, it is not really easy to maintain: I just spent one full day
remembering how it worked... Sigh... :-(

Just deprecate this, until next release, or until someone complains.

    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...).
