Re: [Gnu-arch-users] GNU Arch 1.3.4 release candidate 1

   And the relevant command is 'install -s', which is also there for a
   reason. That way you have a small installed binary, and the
   debugging symbols in your build tree if you need them later.

The most common case when you actually want to debug something is when
you don't have your build tree. There are many reasons why one should
leave debugging symbols _by_default_, specially when it comes to
distributing binaries; it is easy to remove them, it is impossible to
restore them once removed.  You misunderstood what my objection was
about.

Only humans should strip, binaries should be left with all clothes on,
they are far sexier to look at that way...
