Public bug reported: The binaries in this package (and I think other gcc-14 packages as well) are not stripped, making them unnecessarily large and wasting disk space and download bandwidth.
For example: nate@moneta:~$ ls -lh /usr/libexec/gcc-cross/aarch64-linux-gnu/14/lto1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 313M Apr 16 00:03 /usr/libexec/gcc-cross/aarch64-linux-gnu/14/lto1 nate@moneta:~$ file /usr/libexec/gcc-cross/aarch64-linux-gnu/14/lto1 /usr/libexec/gcc-cross/aarch64-linux-gnu/14/lto1: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=abe20b919742102775fc5c48251de3fa7ba7583f, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, with debug_info, not stripped nate@moneta:~$ size /usr/libexec/gcc-cross/aarch64-linux-gnu/14/lto1 text data bss dec hex filename 45483453 168048 2083288 47734789 2d86005 /usr/libexec/gcc-cross/aarch64-linux-gnu/14/lto1 So this file is 313M, but if stripped it would only be 44M. All other Ubuntu packages appear to have stripped binaries.
