Hey thanks for the review, 

I will add a test case in a moment.

That's true, my change only impacts `--strip-all`. I tested `llvm-strip` with the `--strip-debug` flag and this didn't  remove the `.gnu_debuglink` section. This is also seen when using `GNU strip`.

Here are the commands I used when testing the `--strip-debug` flag:
```
gcc -g -xc /dev/null -ffreestanding -shared -o a.out
llvm-objcopy --only-keep-debug a.out a.out.dbg
llvm-objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink=a.out.dbg a.out
llvm-strip --strip-debug -o a.out.stripped a.out
readelf -wk a.out
```
