Hi Javier,
Now I have stripped some of these sections, but the size of the binary
has not decreased.
Possibly the sections have alignment requirements so that after
stripping they are still padded out to some fixed size ?
Possibly the kernel is already frugal with the symbols and debug
information it exports and there is nothing to strip.
Cheers
Nick
