- <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>
- <para>Take care <emphasis>not</emphasis> to use
- <parameter>--strip-unneeded</parameter> on the libraries -- the static ones
- 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>
