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>
|
---|
14 |
|
---|
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>
|
---|
21 |
|
---|
22 | <para>Take care <emphasis>not</emphasis> to use
|
---|
23 | <parameter>--strip-unneeded</parameter> on the libraries -- the static ones
|
---|
24 | would be destroyed and you would have to build the three toolchain packages
|
---|
25 | all over again.</para>
|
---|
26 |
|
---|
27 | <para>To save another 30 MB, you can remove all the documentation:</para>
|
---|
28 |
|
---|
29 | <screen><userinput>rm -rf /tools/{doc,info,man}</userinput></screen>
|
---|
30 |
|
---|
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>
