+* objcopy and strip now accept --only-keep-debug to create a file containing
+ those sections that would be stripped out by --strip-debug. The idea is that
+ this can be used in conjunction with the --add-gnu-debuglink switch to create
+ a two part program distribution - one a stripped executable and the other the
+ debugging info.
