Check out the "strip" manpage. :-)
When an application is compliled, it usually has a lot of extra
symbols in it that aren't needed to actually run (eg; name of functions and
variables, debugging information such as what file/line # a function begins
on, etc). "strip" gets rid of all that stuff that might be useful to a
developer, but won't help actually run the program.
Cheers,
