Hello Matthias,

We are still stripping all binaries, but we don’t do it in the build system any more.

We basically strip them when we package everything:

  https://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=blob;f=lfs/Config;h=9fabe790c3b0e1f7dcba1b86593e59da0b42520a;hb=HEAD#l371

That makes the build slightly faster because we only strip what we actually need to strip and not the rest. It also allows us to have some files with debugging information enabled which we normally don’t have access to.

In the final system there should not be any unstripped binaries.
