Message:

Hopefully, complete strip workaround

In stripping, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/find, and /usr/bin/strip are
running. Strip them, and all libraries used by them in /tmp, then
install them back.

We can't use this for all libraries or binaries: the process above
discouples hard links (for example /usr/bin/perl and perl5.34.0). So
unfortunately the stripping instruction is now a stupidly long bash
script...

     126        <para>If a binary or a shared library is overwrote, the processes
     127        using the code or data in the binary or library may crash.  The
     128        correct way to update a binary or a shared library without causing
     129        the process to crash is: remove it first, then install the new
     130        version into position. The <command>install</command> command
     131        provided by <application>Coreutils</application> has already
     132        implemented this and most packages use it to install binaries and
     133        libraries.  So you won't be troubled by this issue most of the time.
     134        However, the install process of some packages (notably Mozilla JS
     135        in BLFS) just overwrites the file if it exists and causes crash, so
     136        it's safer to save your work and close unneeded running processes
     137        before updating a package.</para>
