The executables and libraries you have built so far contain about 130 MB of unneeded debugging symbols. Remove those symbols like this: strip --strip-unneeded /tools/{,s}bin/* strip --strip-debug /tools/lib/* The first 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. Take care not to use --strip-unneeded on the libraries -- they would be destroyed and you would have to build Glibc all over again. To save another couple of megabytes, you can throw away the documentation and some of the bigger unneeded programs: rm -r /tools/share/{doc,info,man} rm /tools/bin/{addr2line,gprof,nm,size,strings,strip} You will now need to have at least 700 MB of free space on your LFS filesystem to be able to build and install Glibc in the next phase.
