I feel like there must be a misunderstanding somewhere in our communication… I agree that --strip-all is more dangerous as discussed, which is why I suggested using --strip-unneeded instead. You responded to that suggestion by saying it made you nervous… there must be a disconnect somewhere. > Do we have a specific amount of space saved by that procedure? Is it > significant? I don't know off-hand what the full savings at that point in the LFS build would be; anyone care to do a test run? I'm also not sure what the LFS book should recommend doing there, because as you said, space saving isn't really the highest priority and there's more significant results in other areas. What is important is that the book be accurate in what it says. As per Jonathan's email, it seems it's inaccurate currently in two places.
