I'm continuously stumbling into problems with sstrip'ed binaries, too. Gforth's libffi C-interface won't work with a sstrip'ed gforth binary. Also Emacs' dumping support (i.e. quick startup from compiled image) is broken, and sstrip looks like the culprit. I just saw that 'make menuconfig' allows one to configure the stripping method and change 'sstrip' for 'strip'. So if it's oficially supported, what's keeping us from using it? AFAICS the only rationale for 'sstrip' is for keeping flash memory usage down. With 2GB of flash available on the NanoNote, maybe we shouldn't be so stingy here? cheers, David -- GnuPG public key: http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~dvdkhlng/dk.gpg Fingerprint: B17A DC95 D293 657B 4205 D016 7DEF 5323 C174 7D40
