[Buildroot] [git commit] Makefile: valgrind needs non-stripped dynamic linker library

[Thomas Petazzoni]

commit: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=1edb4c51dee78d7d26700c037f29558e73d27ee0
branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Fixes the following valgrind error (tested on freescale imx6):

valgrind:  Fatal error at startup: a function redirection
valgrind:  which is mandatory for this platform-tool combination
valgrind:  cannot be set up.  Details of the redirection are:
valgrind:
valgrind:  A must-be-redirected function
valgrind:  whose name matches the pattern:      strcmp
valgrind:  in an object with soname matching:   ld-linux-armhf.so.3
valgrind:  was not found whilst processing
valgrind:  symbols from the object with soname: ld-linux-armhf.so.3
valgrind:
valgrind:  Possible fixes: (1, short term): install glibc's debuginfo
valgrind:  package on this machine.  (2, longer term): ask the packagers
valgrind:  for your Linux distribution to please in future ship a non-
valgrind:  stripped ld.so (or whatever the dynamic linker .so is called)
valgrind:  that exports the above-named function using the standard
valgrind:  calling conventions for this platform.  The package you need
valgrind:  to install for fix (1) is called

Note that we can still strip the dynamic linker, but only strip the
debugging symbols and nothing else.

[Thomas: slightly adjust comment in the code.]
