[PATCH] D38335: [llvm-objcopy] Add support for --strip-sections to remove all section headers leaving only program headers and loadable segment data

[Jake Ehrlich via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

jakehehrlich created this revision.

elf utils implements a particularly extreme form of stripping that I'd like to support. eu-strip has an option called "strip-sections" that removes all section headers and leaves only program headers  and the segment data. I have implemented this option partly as a test and partly because in Fuchsia we would like to use this option to minimize the size of our executables. The other strip options that are on my list include --strip-all and --strip-debug. This is a preliminary implementation that I'd like to start using in Fuchsia builds if possible.
