<para>The steps in this section are optional, but if the LFS partition is
|
|
rather small, it is beneficial to learn that unnecessary items can be removed.
|
|
The executables and libraries built so far contain about 70 MB of unneeded
|
|
debugging symbols. Remove those symbols with:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>strip --strip-debug /tools/lib/*
|
|
/usr/bin/strip --strip-unneeded /tools/{,s}bin/*</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>These commands will skip a number of files, reporting that it does not
|
|
recognize their file format. Most of these are scripts instead of binaries.
|
|
Also use the system strip command to include the strip binary in /tools.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Take care <emphasis>not</emphasis> to use
|
|
<parameter>--strip-unneeded</parameter> on the libraries. The static
|
|
ones would be destroyed and the toolchain packages would need to be
|
|
built all over again.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To save more, remove the documentation:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>rm -rf /tools/{,share}/{info,man,doc}</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>At this point, you should have at least 3 GB of free space in
|
|
<envar>$LFS</envar> that can be used to build and install Glibc and Gcc in
|
|
the next phase. If you can build and install Glibc, you can build and install
|
|
the rest too.</para>
