Hi All,

this is an update for those that are building hamlib themselves for WSJT-X.

I recently noticed that the hamlib build process does not strip the 
executable artefacts, this has not mattered until we added a copy of the 
rigctld server to the WSJT-X build artefacts. There is no defect but the 
resulting size of the WSJT-X package is larger than it need be.

To get the hamlib build to strip the executable artefacts you need to 
add the '-s' option to the linker flags. This most easily done by 
re-running the configure phase (autogen.sh) and using the following for 
the LDFLAGS option:

LDFLAGS="-s -Wl,-gc-sections"

that is adding '-s' separated by a space from the other option(s).

This update applies to all platforms.
