Well, looks like you have just found a bug in default Arch Linux makepkg.conf :) It does only "--strip-debug" for static libraries (for
unknown reasons I am trying to figure out).

Thanks :)

--strip-debug should do the trick as well...  --strip-unneeded
probably isn't recommended for libraries. ;)

Well, with --strip-debug it is back to the original situation in the very first comment, numbers there are with --strip-debug (what is the potential danger with --strip-unneeded?)
