WRT ELF Tool Chain strip, it appears it defaults to STRIP_ALL (-s) unless o= ne of these options is set: -S,-g,-d, --only-keep-debug, --strip-unneeded, -x, -X, -N It seems to me that -R should be included in the list, and that the behavio= ur currently provided by -R should instead be obtained with -R -s, but that wo= uld be a divergence from GNU strip that we probably do not want to have. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
