binutils-multiarch is huge, and technocally not required when binutils for 
target are available. And (as binutila-multiarch description states) 
binutils for target are needed anyway for cross-builds.

So when cross-compiling, we do always have a working strip for target. I 
believe that making use of it is much better than install additional 18M 
package.
