[PATCH] Re: stripping of DLLs?

[Fridrich Strba]

Could I actually ask what is the stripping of the static libraries good
for? Why not to leave them with the symbols and leave the task of
stripping/extracting of debug information to the statically linked PE
binaries. Like that if one needs to debug a statically linked binary,
one has the information that is needed.

I might be completely clueless though :)

Just 2 cents of the evil forker 

Cheers
