Yeah, I was pretty sure that spec-helper stripped the binaries, and I
know it compresses manpages and such, but I don't know what else it
does. Guess I'll have to pay attention some day and press CTRL-Z
when it hits spec-helper... =)
Strange thing is the stripped binaries in the RPM versus manually
built and stripped binaries still differ in size... any ideas on
that one?
