Ok. Just wanted to inform you about that. If there is existing debug
image that matches quite nicely to boot image then it is easier to debug
as code matches quite nicely to assembly. It is much nicer to debug when
debugger can follow actual code lines.

Anyway. Idea there was that strip was not used, but objcopy was used to
generate matching image.
