Not sure why. I tried to manually strip it but I'm not sure it's working: [lib64]$ file libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc_s.so.1: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, not stripped [lib64]$ objcopy --strip-debug libgcc_s.so.1 [lib64]$ file libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc_s.so.1: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, not stripped Incidentally, I noticed that other open source libraries (libxml2, libxml++ to name 2) also have this "make install-strip" target. I suspect it's generated by autoconf and/or friends. I verified that using it generates stripped SO's.
