Description Richard Purdie 2013-03-03 17:08:04 UTC 
Some packages install binaries into /lib and /usr/lib which aren't marked as executable and hence aren't getting stripped, wasting image size. I've posted a fix for libgcc but we need to:

a) Have better sanity tests for this (unstripped binaries)
b1) Either warn about non-executable files in the libdirs
b2) Process files in the libdirs regardless of the executable bits
