scripts: add option to strip all toolchain executables

To reduce filesizes of the toolchain and even improve build times
of projects to be build with this toolchain it is usefull to strip
the delivered toolchain executables. Since it is not likely that we
will debug the toolchain executables itself we do not need the
debug information inside the executables itself.

     7 The gethostbyname4() lookup method is problematic since it fires out both

     8 the A and AAAA DNS queries in parallel and over the same socket. This

     9 should work in theory, but it turns out that many cheap DSL modems and

    10 similar devices have buggy DNS servers - if the AAAA query arrives too

    11 quickly after the A query, the server will generate only a single reply

    12 with the A query id but returning an error for the AAAA query; we get

    13 stuck waiting for the second reply.

    14 

    15 For gethostbyname4() users affected, disabling IPv6 in the system might

    16 work around the issue, unfortunately it only helps with applications

    17 using AI_ADDRCONFIG (e.g. Firefox); some (notably e.g. Pidgin) neglect

    18 to do that.

    19 

    20 Real fix should be using separate ports for the A and AAAA queries.
