now uses gcc. You can't always rely on newer gcc versions for non primary or non
secondary architectures.

these packages can contain both code for the host and the target. dh_strip
should either provide a way to handle these automatically, or accept an option
for the strip binary to use (and then -X could be used to not strip some objects).
