Hope you have the patience and time to read the following.
I have read that before many times, but during this discussion, only
after you mentioned. Do not know why I forgot that. But after some
effort, I remembered that those pages always gave me the impression
that they were not "generic", just for the intended purpose.
Interesting that "strip" deserves two pages in LFS, none in BLFS. I
still think (IMHO) that a small paragraph about it would be helpful,
probably in "Notes on Building Software", if it does not deserve a
page. Those LFS pages could be referred to as could that page
<http://www.technovelty.org/linux/stripping-shared-libraries.html>
It is very clarifying (had read it some months ago, but it was a long
discussion here, and for some reason, I had the attitude "keep in mind
to understand later", then). Thanks, Randy.
For my personal doubts, in the future I will ask for help in the
support list.
[]s,
Fernando
