Certainly depends on the pov - it reduces the kernel module (disk) image sizes quite a bit, so from a distro perspective its a move against the ever growing package sizes (and the disk space) hundreds or even thousands of modules require. >Would it be a possibility to drop stripping off the >crc symbols and go back to the ld method that >is more ccache friendly? That's certainly a possibility, but I have to admit that I'd like to keep the option - a respective config option could default to 'no' if the build issues are considered more significant. I'm really not that much worried about adding another config parameter here... >We would still benefir from all the other stripping done - no? Yes.
