Debugging symbols
I ran my script again that removes all debugging symbols from libraries. I do
not have a debug library installed so I guess the symbols I found shouldn't
be there.
Here's what I found (listing size before and after stripping):
/usr/lib/libg++-2-libc6.0-1-2.8.2.a:1756646=>350188
/usr/lib/libstdc++-2-libc6.0-1-2.9.0.a:1881308=>318184
/usr/lib/libguile.a:2567214=>663024
/usr/lib/libqthreads.a:7182=>2986
It seems that only three packages are still having debug symbols in static
libraries and two of these come from one source.
There were some symbols though in each X library. I cannot check the libs
anymore as they are stripped now, but the difference printed was small, less
than 1K. So I'm not sure what happened here.
