numerous "strip command failed" ERRORs in building beagle image

numerous "strip command failed" ERRORs in building beagle image

[Robert P. J. Day]

  obviously not fatal since the build kept chugging along, but there
were a number of "ERROR"s of the following form:


NOTE: Running task 3873 of 11130 (ID: 4231,
/home/rpjday/oe/openembedded/recipes/xcb/libpthread-stubs_0.2.bb,
do_patch)
ERROR: runstrip: ''arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-strip'

strip command failed
... etc etc ...

  normally, i don't care but i typically take anything labelled as an
"ERROR" seriously so if it's genuinely not an error, perhaps it should
be relabelled.  (suggested from a position of complete ignorance.)

This happens in the do_package task of many of the kernel builds. I was 
looking into it just the other night as it triggers BuildBot to think 
that the build failed (because it sees a non-zero exit status from this 
section).

Is it even necessary to stage the kernel scripts/ directory? That's the 
final thing happening in the do_install task in kernel.bbclass. Removing 
that line would be a one-liner patch fix to this issue.

Has there been, or will there ever be any progress on this? Just asking if I
should work around this on my own build system..
