how to do this and what the hell it is used at all?
i found somewhere it is some debugging info but i do not put -g option to 
compiler while compiling and still get substantial amount of this trash.

trying strip -R .eh_frame -R .eh_frame_hdr results in working but 
LARGER binary, padded with lots of binary zeros.

as the resulting program is working fine it proves that it is not needed 
at all, but i have no idea why this zero padding
