You are correct, the output binary is not ELF, bit a binfmt_flat flat 
binary. It contains no debug information, it is as "stripped" as it can 
be.  The debug symbols are in the .gdb file, which is used when doing 
application debug via gdbserver.  Search the developer.petalinux.com 
wiki for 'gdbserver' to find details on this proecss.
