binutils/sstrip: remove

sstrip has been obsoleted for a while now, as it's still broken
for some archs, and there seems to be no incentive to fix it
upstream. Besides, the space gained with sstrip is marginal at
best.

fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.

The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
