It's not that simple. How did you test this? I'm pretty sure that this will
fail if e.g. perf is enabled.

- target-specific variables are propagated to any prerequisites. This is
  not acceptable here
- If the strip is incompatible, then I'm sure that building the userspace
  tools from the kernel with the kernel toolchain is not correct either.

This requires a more complex solution.
