Norman Feske 8f27babf16 mk: strip binaries at <build-dir>/bin/
The <build-dir>/bin/ directory used to contain symbolic links to the
unstripped build results. However, since the upcoming depot tool
extracts the content of binary archives from bin/, the resulting
archives would contain overly large unstripped binaries, which is
undesired. On the other hand, always stripping the build results is not
a good option either because we rely of symbol information during
debugging.

This patch changes the installation of build results such that a new
'debug/' directory is populated besides the existing 'bin/' directory.
The debug directory contains symbolic links to the unstripped build
results whereas the bin directory contains stripped binaries that are
palatable for packaging (depot tool) and for assembling boot images (run
tool).

README

This directory contains tools for managing and using the source code
of Genode.

:'create_builddir'

  The 'create_builddir' tool provides a convenient way to create build
  directories for different platforms. Its usage information is printed when
  starting the tool without arguments.

:'builddir/':

  This directory contains a Makefile template and configuration snippets used
  by the 'create_builddir' tool.

:'tool_chain':

  This tool downloads, builds, and installs the tool chain needed to build the
  Genode OS Framework. For getting usage information, start the tool without
  arguments.

:'create_iso':

  This simple tool helps to build bootable ISO images from your build of
  Genode. For getting usage information, start the tool without arguments.

:'create_grub2':

  This tool prepares a partitioned disk image with GRUB2 as boot
  loader.

:'grub2-head.img':

  This file is the head part of a partioned disk image including an
  installation of GRUB2 as boot loader. GRUB2 is available from
  http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/ and in major Linux distributions.
  Steps to reproduce the image creation can be found in
  'create_grub2'.

:'beautify':

  Beautify is a coding-style checking tool that analyzes source code for its
  adherence to Genode's coding style as described in 'doc/coding_style.txt'.
  Whenever possible, the tool tries to fix the issues and outputs a corrected
  file.  Some corrections, however, require human interaction.  In this case,
  the tool stops the analysis with an error.

:'parse_cxx':

  This tool is a C++ parser used as front-end for Beautify.

:'cxx_to_html':

  This tool converts a C++ source file to a HTML view to be used for the API
  documentation at the genode.org website. It relies on 'parse_cxx' to do the
  actual C++ parsing.

:'fix_include_ifndef':

  This tool helps with assigning consistent include guards to header files.

:'boot':

  This directory contains boot-loader files needed to create boot images.

:'autopilot':

  Autopilot is a tool for the automatic execution of run scripts among multiple
  base platforms.
