This is more or less the same as running strip(1) over the produced
executables. Usually one uses it for non-debug builds.
That seems a bit harsh (especially because that makes certain
libraries uses kind of moot, like *_p.a, right?).
No, since -s only applies to the linking stage, so for executables or
shared libraries. It does not apply to object files or libraries.
It could be argued that -s really belongs in LDFLAGS... :)
