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.

     1 Original patch from H.J. Lu, as reported there:

     3 
     4 fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.
     5 The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
