I want to fix that. OK, sounds good to me. In your private mail you seemed to be asking why only the debugging symbols are stripped from the kernel instead of stripping all symbols. I think the modules should be stripped the same way as the kernel: with --strip-debug. That way you end up with the same set of symbols as if they were statically linked into the kernel.
