Nothing prevents the skeleton overlays from having pre-built
executables or libraries in them.  Therefore, we should install
the overlays prior to stripping, so that any such pre-built stuff
gets stripped too.

  Small nit: it's not a skeleton overlay, but a rootfs overlay (I first 
thought you were talking about the skeleton, which is copied _before_ the 
build).

  I'm not sure if I agree with this change. I like the current situation 
where the rootfs-overlay is really copied verbatim and you can trust it. 
If there are binaries in there, we can assume that the user has the 
cross-compiler available to strip them if he wants that.

  That said, I can't think of a situation where it would be really 
essential that the binaries are not stripped, and anyway in that case it 
is still possible to use BR2_STRIP_EXCLUDE_*. So I don't feel very 
strongly about this.

  Regards,
  Arnout

I agree. As it is now the user has full control, which is IMHO nice.

Okay, I can see that it might be expected that rootfs overlay content
should be transferred as-is, I suppose.  Let's consider this patch
retracted, then.
