[Bug binutils/10111] strip .o using inline func, then armlink fails

This would appear to be due to strip replacing section symbols in test2.o

    18: 00000000     0 SECTION LOCAL  DEFAULT    5 i.CallTestInline2
..
    24: 00000000     0 SECTION LOCAL  DEFAULT    6 i.TestInline

with

     6: 00000000     0 SECTION LOCAL  DEFAULT    1 
     7: 00000000     0 SECTION LOCAL  DEFAULT    2 
     8: 00000000     0 SECTION LOCAL  DEFAULT    4 

You get one extra, for .comment, and the ones for i.CallTestInline2 and
i.TestInline sections no longer have names.  Presumably a bug in armlink fails
to interpret these section symbols properly.

This odd behaviour of strip is due to strip removing the section symbols (since
they are not used in any relocs), but bfd/elf.c:elf_map_symbols adds back a
section symbol for all normal sections.

You may be able to work around this by telling strip to keep the original
section symbols with the -K option.
