[Buildroot] [PATCH] python: fix to ensure libpython is stripped

[Przemyslaw Wrzos]

The python and python3 builds mark libpython as read-only which
prevents it from being stripped out correctly for the target.

(tested with python2 only)

Note: the library will remain writable, but this doesn't look like a
big problem to me...

By the way: nice find! Saves about 4MB on Python 2!

Yep, that's the only caveat without stuffing some horrible hack into
buildroot elsewhere to get around it. I couldn't think of a downside
though, and I've been running this on my embedded systems for a year now
without issue.

I have integrated this patch into the large set of Python patches I've
posted at
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2014-February/089309.html.

However, I agree with Thomas De Schampheleire that this specific patch
should be merged for 2014.02, as it fixes a real problem, and gives a
nice size reduction.

That makes sense. I assume you don't need anything from me at this point.

Nope, at this point your patch is in the queue, it should be handled at
some point :-)

Thanks!
