Well, that ends up shaving some more from the binaries, but at a much
bigger cost than just removing "-g".
With stripped binaries, you can't really do _anything_. You get a
core-file, and you're screwed.
With non-stripped binaries you can at least see the function the SIGSEGV
happened in, and you usually even get a half-way decent backtrace etc.
