| 13 | <para>The steps in this section are optional, but if the LFS partition is
|

| 14 | rather small, it is beneficial to learn that unnecessary items can be removed.

| 15 | The executables and libraries built so far contain about 70 MB of unneeded
|
|---|
| 16 | debugging symbols. Remove those symbols with:</para>

| 28 | <para>These commands will skip a number of files, reporting that it does not
|
|---|
| 29 | recognize their file format. Most of these are scripts instead of binaries.
|

| 30 | Also use the system strip command to include the strip binary in /tools.</para>

| 32 | <para>Take care <emphasis>not</emphasis> to use
|
|---|
| 33 | <parameter>--strip-unneeded</parameter> on the libraries. The static
|

| 34 | ones would be destroyed and the toolchain packages would need to be
|

| 35 | built all over again.</para>

| 50 | <envar>$LFS</envar> that can be used to build and install Glibc and Gcc in
|

| 51 | the next phase. If you can build and install Glibc, you can build and install
