Description:

All the executable files in the folder /opt/ghidra/docs/GhidraClass/ExerciseFiles are used as examples to practise various functionalities of ghidra. The usage of each of these files are described in the documentation located in /opt/ghidra/docs/GhidraClass/Advanced/improvingDisassemblyAndDecompilation.pdf. Following through documentations requires using the symbols in these executable files. Arch Linux strips all symbols from binaries by default. However in this case the exercise files becomes very cumbersome to use without the symbols, because all the symbol names mentioned in the documentation are missing. Is it possible to build the ghidra package with the !strip option? It appears ghidra contains only 2 other ELF files besides these exercise files. So there is not much merit to run strip on the entire package anyways. Thanks!

Steps to reproduce:
1. open any of the exercise files in /opt/ghidra/docs/GhidraClass/ExerciseFiles in ghidra
2. look for the corresponding documentation in /opt/ghidra/docs/GhidraClass/Advanced/improvingDisassemblyAndDecompilation.pdf
3. the symbols mentioned in the documentations cannot be found in the actual executable
This task depends upon
