You are using the (native) program "strip" and not the (cross) program
"arm-cortexa8-linux-gnueabihf-strip".

The former does not handle the cross binaries, and therefore errors
out.

The latter would have been used if you had not ignored Carl's hint at
using "--cross-prefix".

(I personally don't see the point of configuring and using an IDE to
build a project which already has a perfectly working configure/make
flow. But that's just me.)
