i now have (almost) finished my system. xfce is up with firefox and thunderbird. only libreoffice and vlc are missing - but that's another story ;) everything is fine, no errors occurred. i use the DESTDIR approach and loop thru the DESTDIR with the following script before installing: OK=$( LC_ALL=C file "$F" ) [ -z "$( echo $OK | grep ': ELF ' )" ] || \ strip --strip-unneeded -p "$F" [ -z "$( echo $OK | grep ': current ar archive' )" ] || \ strip --strip-debug -p "$F" i guess it's save to say: --strip-unneeded for any ELF file (binary or library) --strip-debug for any static library --strip-unneeded even works on object files, as they are processed due to the grep ' ELF ' as i had to learn scanning thru the logfile: even the crt*.o in /usr/lib/gcc* are processed without making any troubles. tobias -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
