file permissions when stripping under fakeroot

Hi Siddhesh,

the binutils configuration that Arch Linux uses can be found at [1].

Unfortunately reverting commits 365f5fb6d0f0da83817431a275e99e6f6babbe04 and
1a1c3b4cc17687091cff5a368bd6f13742bcfdf8 on top of binutils-2_36_1 doesn't seem
to solve the issue according to my experiments.

Only after reverting commit 355e5f2ffbc0db0c6db77586d879553b72958187 (or
equivalently, re-applying 014cc7f849e8209623fc99264814bce7b3b6faf2), the
ownership is unchanged after running strip.

Kind regards,
Jonas
