Well, that's kinda how I got the "stripped" size in my original message...
:)  I was actually wondering about weird stuff to try with compiler options
and what have you when I'm compiling glibc.  I thought maybe someone may
have played with different optimization levels and the like and know off the
top of their head if any specific flags would result in saving a few hundred
K or so.

But yeah, stipping does make a real darn big difference in the size of both
of the libc's.
