Gentoo's portage per default strips all binaries on install step unless you=
=20
specify FEATURES=3D"nostrip". So there the package management system (=3Dpo=
rtage)=20
is in charge of stripping the binaries. Portage even warns about pre-stiped=
=20
binaries.

I think the default should be to let the binaries unstripped unless the use=
r=20
explicitly wants to do this during install.

With regards,
