From: Deepesh Varatharajan <Deepesh.Varatharajan@windriver.com>

SDK toolchain binaries (nativesdk and cross-canadian gcc) currently
contain a .gnu_debuglink section pointing to separate debug symbols.
These symbols are not required in SDK builds, as SDK users do not
need production debug information on the target, only the compiler
and headers for development.

Including .gnu_debuglink increases disk usage for distributed SDKs
without providing any benefit for SDK consumers and so removed.
