Disclaimer: 98% of the people who use the command mentioned below don't
experience any problems. But do make a backup of your LFS system before
you run this command. There's a slight chance it may backfire on you and
render your system unusable (mostly by destroying your kernel modules
and dynamic &amp; shared libraries).

Having that said, the --strip-debug option to strip is quite harmless
under normal circumstances. It doesn't strip anything vital from the
files. It also is quite safe to use --strip-all on regular programs
(don't use that on libraries - they will be destroyed) but it's not as
safe and the space you gain is not all that much. But if you're tight on
disk space every little bit helps, so decide yourself. Please refer to
the strip man page for other strip options you can use. The general idea
is to not run strip on libraries (other than --strip-debug) just to be
on the safe side.
