<para>The steps in this section are optional, but if your LFS partition is
|
|
|
|
|
rather small, you will be glad to learn that you can remove some unnecessary
|
|
|
|
|
things. The executables and libraries you have built so far contain about 130
|
|
|
|
|
MB of unneeded debugging symbols. Remove those symbols with:</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>strip --strip-debug /tools/lib/*
|
|
|
|
|
strip --strip-unneeded /tools/{,s}bin/*</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>The last of the above commands will skip some twenty files, reporting
|
|
|
|
|
that it doesn't recognize their file format. Most of them are scripts instead
|
|
|
|
|
of binaries.</para>

would be destroyed and you would have to build the three toolchain packages
|
|
|
|
|
all over again.</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>To save another 30 MB, you can remove all the documentation:</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>rm -rf /tools/{doc,info,man}</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>You will now need to have at least 850 MB of free space on your LFS
|
|
|
|
|
file system to be able to build and install Glibc in the next phase. If you can
|
|
|
|
|
build and install Glibc, you can build and install the rest too.</para>
