LFS book in chapter 5 Contructing a Temporary System and section
5.33 Striping says that
"Take care not to use --strip-unneeded on the libraries. The static
ones would be destroyed and the toolchain packages would need to be
built all over again"
according to this article http://www.technovelty.org/linux/stripping-shared-libraries.html
--strip-unneded option is save to perform on static libraries(and
share ones).
I also took the time and made a "strip --strip-unneeded" on a static
library and it was linked fine. --strip-unneeded was smart enough
not to destroy the library
unlike --strip-all option.
There is already a thread about this which I recall from August:
