Marcin Nowakowski ba19cb915a kexec: fix build when BR2_STRIP_none=y
When BR2_STRIP is set to none, a dummy 'true' app is used instead of
strip utility. However, kexec package always requires a real strip
executable as it is used to generate intermediate files during the build
process.

If 'true' is used the build system runs the following command:

true --strip-debug -o purgatory/purgatory.ro purgatory/purgatory.ro.sym

which obviously doesn't do anything useful and the build later fails
with:

bin/bin-to-hex purgatory < purgatory/purgatory.ro > kexec/purgatory.c
/bin/sh: purgatory/purgatory.ro: No such file or directory
kexec/Makefile:7: recipe for target 'kexec/purgatory.c' failed
make[2]: *** [kexec/purgatory.c] Error 1

To resolve it always specify STRIP=$(CROSS_COMPILE)strip, regardless of
buildroot configuration.

[Peter: add a comment explaining why this is done]

README

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
