+1 on this one --- seems about the right level of effort, considering that install-strip isn't exactly an encouraged option anyway. (Does anyone still care about the amount of disk space involved? And it makes debugging problems infinitely harder.) Just for the record, I'd like to put forward the alternative solution of removing support for install-strip. But assuming there are objections to that, please send in the mentioned 4-line patch ... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
