Build XGCC without debug info?

Build XGCC without debug info?

[Christopher Bahns]

It seems that when building a cross-compiler (using binutils-2.10,
gcc-2.95.2, and newlib-1.8.2), the resulting binaries are by default
built with debug information (I know because I am able to use gdb to
step through the compiler source). Anyone know an easy (or proper) way
to build the compiler and libraries without debug info? I assume the
resulting files would be quite a bit smaller.

Thanks for any help!
Chris

I don't know about building the compiler without symbols, but I believe that
the "strip" command would do the job for you. I copied my executable to /tmp
(just to be safe) and after running "strip",
it dropped in size from 171924 to 86016 bytes.
