I was looking at the secion in Chapter 6 on stripping. What we have now is:
/tools/bin/find /{,usr/}{bin,lib,sbin} -type f \
-exec /tools/bin/strip --strip-debug '{}' ';'
But upon examination, I think we also need to strip /usr/libexec. Doing
that freed up about 300M on my build.
You'd also get more by stripping by type:
--strip-all -> bin,sbin,libexec
--strip-unneeded -> lib/*.so*
--strip-debug -> lib/*.a
Looking for more feedback on this. Right now we have:
/tools/bin/find /{,usr/}{bin,lib,sbin} -type f \
-exec /tools/bin/strip --strip-debug '{}' ';'
To maximize the stripping we would need:
/tools/bin/find /usr/lib -type f -name \*.a \
-exec /tools/bin/strip --strip-debug {} ';'
/tools/bin/find /lib /usr/lib -type f -name \*.so* \
-exec /tools/bin/strip --strip-unneeded {} ';'
/tools/bin/find /{bin,sbin} /usr/{bin,sbin,libexec} -type f \
-exec /tools/bin/strip --strip-all {} ';'
Should we do this? It would seem to minimize the disk space and provide
an example of some different strip options.
With these commands, a vanilla LFS install is then about 534M, not
counting /tools (1,2G) /sources (426M), and /jhalfs (52M).
