For my understanding:
Are the following three actions identical?
- Strip the binaries
- Removing the symbol tables from binaries
- Removing debugging information from binaries
generated with 'gcc -g'
-------------- begin: gdk-imlib-nonfree1.shlibs --------------
libgdk_imlib 1 gdk-imlib-nonfree1 (>=1.3) | (>=1.3)
--------------- end: gdk-imlib-nonfree1.shlibs ---------------
