Also, what is the purpose of strip -s lazarus?
Answering this myself after looking at strip -help:
It strips all embedded symbols from the lazarus program file!
I tried it in a Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon virtual machine on my Win7
laptop and amazingly the file size shrunk:
from 102,683,731 bytes
to 26,751,376 bytes
Quite amazingly much!
strip removes the debug information stored in the binary. So in that
case you won't get detailed exception information (stack trace) inside
Lazarus if an exception occurs there.

Sven
