Thanks very much for the e-mail! Then, I guess my question is: the
binaries that are installed when I download and install a Fedora RPM
all (or at least, most do) appear to be stripped. I thought that meant
that the install step has to have things stripped. How exactly does
this happen then?

Many thanks again!
Best wishes,
Ranjan
