Hi Alexander,
I use sstrip from ELFkickers instead strip from binutils for more smallest executables https://github.com/BR903/ELFkickers May be make strip more efficient by use ELFkickers sources ?
Thanks for the offer, but I think that we will pass. There are various issues, such as licensing - we need sources that are copyright assigned to the FSF, or donates under a Developer Certificate of Origin, and flexibility - the binutils strip utility does a lot more than just try to create the smallest possible binary and competition. (By competition I mean that I think that it is a good idea that there are multiple different implementations of these utilities and that users can choose between them). Cheers Nick
