+<para>If you are going to perform the stripping, special care is needed to
+ensure you're not running any of the binaries that are about to be stripped.
+If you're not sure whether you entered chroot with the command given in
+<xref linkend="ch-system-chroot"/>, then first exit from chroot:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>logout</userinput></screen>
+
+<para>Then reenter it with:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>chroot $LFS /tools/bin/env -i \
+ HOME=/root TERM=$TERM PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \
+ PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin \
+ /tools/bin/bash --login</userinput></screen>
+
+<para>Now you can safely strip the binaries and libraries:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>/tools/bin/find /{,usr/}{bin,lib,sbin} -type f \
+ -exec /tools/bin/strip --strip-debug '{}' ';'</userinput></screen>
+
+<para>A large number of files will be reported as having their file format not
+recognized. These warnings can be safely ignored, they just mean that those
+files are scripts instead of binaries, no harm is done.</para>
+
+<para>If you are really tight on disk space, you may want to use
+<parameter>--strip-all</parameter> on the binaries in
+<filename class="directory">/{,usr/}{bin,sbin}</filename> to gain several more megabytes. But do
+<emphasis>not</emphasis> use this option on libraries: they would be
+destroyed.</para>
