Then the following info will help you too.
1. Remember to use -s in LDFLAGS as well as CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS.
2. Some packages don't use *FLAGS set in the environment. For example,
to compile bzip2 with custom CFLAGS and LDFLAGS one should use the
following make command:
# make CFLAGS="$CFLAGS" LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS"
GCC must be compiled with something like
# make CFLAGS="$CFLAGS" BOOT_CFLAGS="$CFLAGS" LIBCFLAGS=...
Some other packages use more complicated ways of setting custom FLAGS.
3. You still have to remove debug symbols from .a files by hand, for
example:
# find /lib -name '*.a' -exec strip --strip-debug {} \;
4. I'm not sure, but... some packages at the end of the chapter 6 seem
to not use LDFLAGS from the environment while using CFLAGS and
CXXFLAGS. The result binaries must be also stripped.
But don't worry about the cases (except the first one) because the most
packages process all FLAGS as it's expected and you'll get a stripped
system without stripping :)
