Doesn't emerge strip all binaries that it installs?
I guess. I'm relatively new to Gentoo.
What would it matter? What does emerge strip binaries of? I install from source via emerge, btw.
AFAIK, 'strip' removes all debugging info from binaries.
That's kinda retarded.
From /etc/make.conf (details on FEATURES variable):
# 'nostrip' prevents stripping of binaries.
As you can see, this behavior can be disabled. For most people, there is no need for debugging information and it just weighs binaries down. Also, a lot of people using the x86 architecture have '-fomit-frame-pointer' in there CFLAGS which effectively prevents any useful debugging.
