A "fix" for this issue is to do nothing. The quoted line has a '-' in front if it, this means that a failure of this command isn't considered an error. Whoever put this line in was probably aware of the problem at hand. I think the more appropriate question is: what's the result of this operation (a smaller executable), and what do we gain by it (with todays harddisk sizes: nearly nothing).
