file permissions when stripping under fakeroot

[Allan McRae]

With binutils 2.36.1, I notice a change of behaviour under fakeroot when
stripping files.

With binutils-2.36 (and earlier):

$ fakeroot
$ ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16088 Feb  7 02:06 hello
$ strip hello
$ ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14408 Feb  7 02:06 hello


With binutils-2.36.1:

$ fakeroot
$ ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16088 Feb  7 02:08 hello
$ strip hello
$ ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 allan allan 14408 Feb  7 02:08 hello


Is this a binutils issue, or a fakeroot issue exposed by binutils
changes?   Either way, distributions that package under fakeroot are in
for some fun as files will be owned by the build user GID and not root.
