|
<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 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 does not recognize their file format. Most of these
|
|
are scripts instead of binaries.</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 another 30 MB, remove the documentation:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>rm -rf /tools/{info,man}</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>There will now be at least 850 MB of free space on the LFS file
|
|
system that can be used 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>
