GCC has an install target 'install-strip' that strips debug symbols at install time. This reduces the installed size from ~4GB to ~2GB. Enable strip on install by default but provide the option to disable it. The downside of this is when GCC ICEs, we don't get a proper backtrace any more.

binutils and gdb also support "install-strip" target, current PR only strips gcc. Is gcc-xxx-stage1 necessary to use "make install-strip-gcc" ? |

Stripping is disabled by default. So I would expect enable-strip instead of disable-strip.

Also, this needs to be documented in README.md.
