it seems that cygport always strip binaries, but I have one program that
when stripped does not work correctly.
Out of curiosity, what program is that? And why does it require the
symbols to be present in the executable?

Hi Corinna,
it's pari-gp the program I'm having trouble packaging.
If I compile it manually, without cygport, then I'm able to execute it.
If I use cygport, then the program misbehaves.
I've noticed that cygport strips the binaries, so I thought that could
be the issue.
Also setting
RESTRICT="strip" and STRIP=/usr/bin/true
seems to strip some information compared to the manually built binary.
Best
Federico
PS:
Why does cygport strip binaries by default?
Doesn't it generally makes harder to debug issues?
If stripping removes unused data I would actually expect the compiler to
not generate it, and if the data is used....
Is it a common practice for GNU/Linux distribution to strip binaries
when creating packages?
