| 10 | <para>The steps in this section are optional, but if your LFS partition is
|
---|
| 11 | rather small, you will be glad to learn that you can remove some unnecessary
|
---|
| 12 | things. The executables and libraries you have built so far contain about 130
|
---|
| 13 | MB of unneeded debugging symbols. Remove those symbols with:</para>
|

|

| 15 | <screen><userinput>strip --strip-debug /tools/lib/*
|
---|
| 16 | strip --strip-unneeded /tools/{,s}bin/*</userinput></screen>

| 18 | <para>The last of the above commands will skip some twenty files, reporting
|
---|
| 19 | that it doesn't recognize their file format. Most of them are scripts instead
|
---|
| 20 | of binaries.</para>

[574b0ea] | 23 | <parameter>--strip-unneeded</parameter> on the libraries -- the static ones

[673b0d8] | 24 | would be destroyed and you would have to build the three toolchain packages
|

| 25 | all over again.</para>

| 27 | <para>To save another 30 MB, you can remove all the documentation:</para>

| 31 | <para>You will now need to have at least 850 MB of free space on your LFS
|
---|
| 32 | file system to be able to build and install Glibc in the next phase. If you can
|
---|
| 33 | build and install Glibc, you can build and install the rest too.</para>
