I removed unneeded parts after building just by 'rm -rf'-ing.
It's probably not that good solution but it's cheap and flexible enough.
I think for now we could just do that 'rm -rf'-ing on man-pages and info-pages, also strip debugging symbols on binaries, and some of the debugging symbols on libraries.
Just add:
$ strip --strip-debug <lib_path>
$ strip --strip-unneeded <{,s}bin_path>
