Cool, glad you got it in chapter 6. Did you see Jonathan's email? The wording in chapter 5 may not be accurate. It says: "Take care not to use --strip-unneeded on the libraries. The static ones would be destroyed and the toolchain packages would need to be built all over again." According to the link Dan posted, http://www.technovelty.org/linux/strip.html (I don't know if anyone in the community has verified yet personally), --strip-all is the one to worry about. --strip-unneeded will do the right thing for static libs. So the wording in chapter 5 may be wrong because it says --strip-unneeded will destroy static libs, when in fact it may not. I say 'may' because I am uncertain if there are caveats that exist when dealing with the difference of environments between chapter 5 and 6. I rather doubt it because by that point you have fully native libs, but still, it's always good to verify with actual data.
