Subject: -52- What's wrong with strip(1)?
Date: 06 Apr 1996 00:00:01 EST
In IRIX 5.2 and 5.3, strip(1) fails to remove all of the debugging
information that it could. This isn't a big problem; it just wastes
a bit of disk space. Patches 247 and 248 fix that bug.
Patch 410 to IRIX 5.3 includes a new loader (ld32), the output of
which strip mangles horribly. Patch 1068 and IRIX 6.2 include a strip
which can strip ld32 binaries, but which does not follow symlinks.
In IRIX 6.0 and 6.0.1, 'strip *' strips the first executable correctly
and corrupts the rest. Work around the bug by stripping only one file
at a time.
