Description:

I'm trying to reduce my archiso's size. I found there are some files keep debug informaiton in their binary.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.

Steps to reproduce:
file work/i686/airootfs/usr/bin/*|grep 'not strip' | awk -F: '{print $1}'

Here is the sample result:

work/i686/airootfs/usr/bin/certutil
work/i686/airootfs/usr/bin/cmsutil
work/i686/airootfs/usr/bin/crlutil

Did stripping them actually reduce the size? File is not great at determining what has been stripped...

Some of those seem to be not stripped on purpose (glibc files). Others could easily be false positives (current version of file reports notify-send as stripped).

These files come from the packages. Take a look at them; if you determine they really aren't stripped and should be, file a bug report against the package in question.
