When we use -strip-unneeded it removes some symbols that are needed in static
libraries that may be needed in addition to debugging symbols. Changing the
stripping to the more conservative --strip-debug retains thise symbols.
In the case of libc.a the unstripped file size is 22.4 MB. Using
--strip-debug reduces the file size by 74 percent to 5.9 MB.
Using --strip-unneeded only reduces the file further by 89 KB,
so any gain is relatively trivial.

Remove $LFS/{bin,lib,sbin} from the chown commands

Remove static library in sysklogd
Accomplished with adding --disable-static to the configure options.
They were measured when we used -j1 and/or had not running the test
suite with parallel jobs yet. Now the values are even larger than the
total SBU including the test time, so they are just ridiculous.
Some user using a slow system complained (off-list) to me that the long
no-output period seemed like a hang (esp. combined with the warning
about missing re2c).
Also explain the "basic functionality test" is already done, so no need
to run "./ninja" again for testing.
