The program I am building strips binaries automatically. It is very simple to turn it off. Should I do it? P.S.: I read PH, it says "strip" will exit cleanly if the binary is already stripped, and do not strip binaries manually, but nothing about unnecessary and avoidable restripping. Thanks and Best Regards, Ale
