	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter08_aboutdebug — Greek	About Debugging Symbols
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter08_aboutdebug — Greek	Most programs and libraries are, by default, compiled with debugging symbols included (with <command>gcc</command>'s <parameter>-g</parameter> option). This means that when debugging a program or library that was compiled with debugging information, the debugger can provide not only memory addresses, but also the names of the routines and variables.
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter08_aboutdebug — Greek	The inclusion of these debugging symbols enlarges a program or library significantly. Here are two examples of the amount of space these symbols occupy:
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter08_aboutdebug — Greek	A <command>bash</command> binary with debugging symbols: 1200 KB
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter08_aboutdebug — Greek	A <command>bash</command> binary without debugging symbols: 480 KB (60% smaller)
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter08_aboutdebug — Greek	Glibc and GCC files (<filename class="directory">/lib</filename> and <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>) with debugging symbols: 87 MB
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter08_aboutdebug — Greek	Glibc and GCC files without debugging symbols: 16 MB (82% smaller)
	Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter08_aboutdebug — Greek	Sizes will vary depending on which compiler and C library were used, but a program that has been stripped of debugging symbols is usually some 50% to 80% smaller than its unstripped counterpart. Because most users will never use a debugger on their system software, a lot of disk space can be regained by removing these symbols. The next section shows how to strip all debugging symbols from the programs and libraries.
