[yocto] INHIBIT_SYSROOT_STRIP

[Dimitris Tassopoulos]

My use case, as I've told to Scott, was building a bare metal firmware for
a cortex m0 with an external GCC toolchain. Although, the toolchain's
binaries are strippable, there are some other blob files that are needed
for the build, which are not.

Cheers,
Dimitris
