Don't expect such idiots to become Lazarus users.
That is partly true. The problem is that setting -Xs doesn't help if there is also -g in the command line. So people think that the compiler strips the executable, but in fact the binary is unstripped. The easiest way to solve this is with a check in Lazarus. When the strip checkbox is checked a note shall be shown and asked to disable the debuginfo to make the option work. The real solution is what a lot of people already asked for. Multiple build modes like Visual C++ also has.
