STRIP=yes on iana-etc-2.30

[Gilles Espinasse]

At least on iana-etc-2.30, there is a STRIP option that remove all comments.

Time to resolve protocol name lineary depend of /etc/services file size

See
http://www.diy-linux.org/pipermail/diy-linux-dev/2006-January/000719.html
or

Using STRIP=yes remove comments, is a big gain in size and will speed up
protocol name resolution.

without STRIP=yes
ls -l build/etc/{services,protocols}
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  25075 Aug  5 23:52 build/etc/protocols
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 768737 Aug  5 23:52 build/etc/services


with STRIP=yes
ls -l build/etc/{services,protocols}
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   2078 Aug  6 10:52 build/etc/protocols
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 192217 Aug  6 10:52 build/etc/services

In the worst case ( protocol unknow or near the end of the services file),
this should divide the time to resolve protocol name by 4.
