     <title>Stripping One More Time</title>
 
-    <para>In LFS, stripping of debugging symbols was discussed a couple of
-    times.  When building BLFS packages, there are generally no special
-    instructions that discuss stripping again.  It is probably not a good
-    idea to strip an executable or a library while it is in use, so exiting
-    any windowing environment is a good idea.  Then you can do:</para>
-
-    <screen><userinput>find /{,usr/}{bin,lib,sbin} -type f -exec strip --strip-unneeded {} \;</userinput></screen>
-
-    <para>If you install programs in other directories such as /opt or /usr/local,
-    you may want to strip the files there too.</para>

-    <para>For more information on stripping, see <ulink

     <title>Libtool files</title>
 
-    <para>One of the side effects of packages that use Autotools, including
-    libtool, is that they create many files with an .la extension.  These
-    files are not needed in an LFS environment.  If there are conflicts with
-    pkgconfig entries, they can actually prevent successful builds.  You
-    may want to consider removing these files periodically:</para>
-
-    <screen><userinput>find /lib /usr/lib -not -path "*Image*" -a -name \*.la -delete</userinput></screen>
-
-    <para>The above command removes all .la files with the exception of those that have
-    "Image" as a part of the path.  These .la files are used by the
-    ImageMagick programs.  There may be other exceptions by packages not in BLFS.</para>
