[PD] flext externals crash PD

[Jacob Last]

Thomas--

strip -x yields a binary that is only a few bytes bigger than the one
made with the -Wl,-x option, and it doesn't crash for me. So it seems
like a good option. Although I am trying to understand what is
different about using `strip -x ` and doing what should be the same
thing with the -Wl,-x option...
