sorry: I've accidentally sent it before finishing. I meant that if I
firstly objcopy the linked binary (thus, erasing
the padding between .got.plt and .bss) and then strip it, then
gdbserver<->gdb are successfully loading the debug info even for
gdbserver < 7.6.
That's cause in this case the addresses of all remained sections in
stripped and not stripped binaries are the same.
