For awhile now (as long as i can remember) the program strip(1) or install -s has allways failed to work. It usually comes back with blafoo: Innapropriate File type or format. Messing with file(1) i found that my magic file was corrupt. So i built a new file(1) and magic(5) from the sources on sun-lamp. Howver the problem still persists. I also attempted to compile a new strip(1) but it errored out during make with "undefined symbol N_TRELOFF referenced from text segment" That one mystified me. and yes.. i grepped for it everywhere. please help.. my binaries are outrageously large and are getting out of hand! -- DISCLAIMER: The Above opinion is mine, And you can't have it!
