Currently the default for stripping when building Lede/OpenWRT is CONFIG_USE_SSTRIP=y.
This has the following impacts: Linking with GCC against libraries on the OpenWRT device is impossible. Python packages like pyusb that dynamically link against C libraries cannot be used. Debugging with gdb is not possible. Cf. the comments in https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/tools/sstrip/src/sstrip.c The size difference between libraries stripped with SSTRIP and STRIP is very small: libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0 STRIP: 47720 bytes SSTRIP: 46412 bytes In the example above the size increase is less then 3 %. I suggest to change the default to CONFIG_USE_STRIP=y. _______________________________________________ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev
