Folks,

Please think about $(STRIP_STRIP_UNNEEDED) vs. $(STRIP_STRIP_ALL).

Ask yourself:
1) Do i want my libraries be able to load?
   If you answer Y here, then use _UNNEEDED
2) Do i want my binaries small?
   If you answer Y here, then use _ALL

Read the corresponding manpage for details and try to correct the
incorrectly stripped stuff that accumulated during the last months.

HTH,
