Currently the default for stripping when building Lede/OpenWRT is
CONFIG_USE_SSTRIP=y.
This has the following impacts:
Linking with GCC against libraries on the OpenWRT device is impossible.
Python packages like pyusb that dynamically link against C libraries
cannot be used.
Debugging with gdb is not possible.
Cf. the comments in
https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/tools/sstrip/src/sstrip.c
The size difference between libraries stripped with SSTRIP and STRIP is
very small:
libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0
STRIP: 47720 bytes
SSTRIP: 46412 bytes
In the example above the size increase is less then 3 %.
I suggest to change the default to CONFIG_USE_STRIP=y.
