- <title>Stripping</title>
-
- <para>The steps in this section are optional, but if the LFS partition is
- rather small, it is beneficial to learn that unnecessary items can be removed.
- The executables and libraries built so far contain about 70 MB of unneeded
- debugging symbols. Remove those symbols with:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput>$LFS_TGT-strip --strip-debug $LFS/usr/lib/*
-$LFS_TGT-strip --strip-unneeded $LFS/usr/{,s}bin/*</userinput></screen>
-
- <para>These commands will skip a number of files, reporting that it does not
- recognize their file format. Most of these are scripts instead of binaries.
- Note that we use the <command>strip</command> program built in
- <quote>Binutils pass 1</quote>, since it is the one that knows how to strip
- our cross-compiled programs.</para>
-<!-- Normally, the host "strip" could be used too, since it is actually the
-same computer. But Some old versions of binutils may generate buggy crt1.o
-and the like, because they do not know about recently introduced symbol
-types. For more details,
-see https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22875-->
-
- <para>Take care <emphasis>not</emphasis> to use
- <parameter>--strip-unneeded</parameter> on the libraries. The static
- ones would be destroyed and the toolchain packages would need to be
- built all over again.</para>
-
- <para>To save more, remove the documentation:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput>rm -rf $LFS/usr/{,share}/{info,man,doc}</userinput></screen>
-
- <para>The libtool .la files are only useful when linking with static
- libraries. They are unneeded, and potentially harmful, when using dynamic
- shared libraries, specially when using also non-autotools build systems.
- Remove those files now:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput>find $LFS/usr/{lib,libexec} -name \*.la -delete</userinput></screen>
-
- <para>At this point, you should have at least 3 GB of free space in
- <envar>$LFS</envar> that can be used to build and install Glibc and Gcc in
- the next phase. If you can build and install Glibc, you can build and install
- the rest too.</para>

- <sect2>
- <title>Backup / Restore</title>
-
- <para>
- Now that the essential tools has been created, its time to think about
- a backup. When every check has passed successfully in the previously
- built packages, your temporary tools are in a good state and might be
- backed up for later reuse. In case of fatal failures in the subsequent
- sections, it often turns out that removing everything and start over
- (more carefully) is the best option to recover. Unfortunatly, all the
- temporary tools will be removed, too. To avoid extra time to redo
- something which has been built successfully, make sure you have at least
- 600 MB free disk space (the source tarballs will be included in the
- backup archive) in the home directory of user
- <systemitem class="username">lfs</systemitem> and prepare a backup:
- </para>
-
-<screen role="nodump"><userinput>cd $LFS &amp;&amp;
-tar -cJpf $HOME/temp-tools.tar.xz .
-</userinput></screen>
-
- <para>
- In case you have to start over as some mistakes has been made, you can
- use this backup to restore the temporary tools and save some time on
- the way to recover. Since the sources are located under
- <filename class="directory">$LFS</filename>, they are included in the
- backup archive as well, so you need not to download them again. After
- checking that <filename class="directory">$LFS</filename> is set proper,
- restore the backup by executing the following commands:
- </para>
-
-<screen role="nodump"><userinput>cd $LFS &amp;&amp;
-rm -rf ./* &amp;&amp;
-tar -xpf $HOME/temp-tools.tar.xz
-</userinput></screen>
-
- <para>
- Again, double check that the environment has been setup proper and
- continue building the rest of the system.
