Sorry, I see I never reviewed this v2 variant.  I know we tried to
coordinate with binutils so eu-strip and binutils strip would do the
same thing. And that Jose had an idea for a new section flag to
automatically detect what section should/shouldn't be stripped (into a
separate .debug file). What was the conclusion of that?

Thanks,
