And additionally, we can now strip the native code executables, gaining
additional size reduction of the -native package.

Note also that bytecode executables built without -custom will not get
stripped by strip :

$ ls -l fibo
-rwxr-xr-x    1 luther   luther     124555 sep  9 10:55 fibo
$ file fibo
fibo: a /usr/bin/ocamlrun script text executable
$ strip fibo
strip: fibo: Format de fichier non reconnu
