libc/glibc: repair debugging with gdb (glibc 2.9)

Without this patch, crosstool-ng-built glibc-2.9 prevents
debugging any exeutable with gdb.
gdb says:
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
find_new_threads_callback: cannot get thread info: generic error

    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...).
