[Buildroot] Reg: Stripped binaries in output/build

[ravi chandran]

Hi,
  I am using buildroot version 2019.02. By default i could see all the
binaries in output/target are stripped versions.  Similarly is there an
option exist to generate stripped binaries in output/build folder . The
intention here is to reduce the size of the output/build folder.

Thanks,
Ravi

 There is no such option. Stripping binaries in the build directory would take a
long time and have very little impact on the overall size.

 If the size of the build folder is really an issue for you, you can do

rm -rf output/build/*/*

 That way, you can *sometimes* still do a rebuild, though there is a significant
risk that something will fail when you try to rebuild. So you could just as well
save output/images and throw away the entire output directory.
