binutils/sstrip: mark as obsolete

sstrip is causing more trouble and grief than tolerable.
It is broken at least on PPC. It does not build on non-ELF
systems (eg. mingw32, MacOS-X...). Plus, it is easy to
install.

Hide it behind OBSOLETE.

The sstrip utility, to maximise the striping of ELF binaries
(executables and libraries).
Buildroot version, forked off the original from ELFkickers. This one
is somewhat maintained by the buildroot guys.

Supports big-endian systems.
NOTE! Please read.
sstrip is now deprecated in crosstool-NG, as it has a few
shortcomings. For example: it breaks for PPC targets, it
does not build on non-ELF hosts (eg. mingw32, MacOS-X...).
