This is done in base, but isn't the case for ports - libraries must not be stripped, and CFLAGS should be honoured so that building with DEBUG="-g" works, but ports don't normally build with symbols. I think it's valid to build with symbols by default if there are known problems with a library, but if we did this across the whole tree, there would be a HUGE increase in the size of packages, it typically makes both the uncompressed and compressed libraries around a third bigger.
