 remove the symbols by executing the following command:

+Disclaimer: 98% of the people who use the command mentioned below don't

+Having that said, the --strip-debug option to strip is quite harmless
+under normal circumstances. It doesn't strip anything vital from the
+files. It also is quite safe to use --strip-all on regular programs
+(don't use that on libraries - they will be destroyed) but it's not as
+safe and the space you gain is not all that much. But if you're tight on
+disk space every little bit helps, so decide yourself. Please refer to
+the strip man page for other strip options you can use. The general idea
+is to not run strip on libraries (other than --strip-debug) just to be
+on the safe side.
