You can run the archives through strip(1) or link with -Wl,--strip-all or -Wl,--strip-debug to remove the (debug) symbol sections. -- -- v8-users mailing list v8-users@googlegroups.com http://groups.google.com/group/v8-users --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "v8-users" group.
