It looks like the *.img (and *.b) files are no longer stripped in -22.7.2. If I
omit lilo-22.7.2-nostrip.patch, everything is fine.

So, please find another way to get rid of portage's QA notice. ;-)

It does indeed seem that although Portage wants to strip binaries by itself, it
doesn't always do that correctly. I agree that the patch has to go. People will
have to live with the warning for now.
Thank you for your bug report :)

Please note that there is also an explicit "strip $$ROOT$(SBIN_DIR)/lilo" done
during "make install". Removing this line from the Makefile seems to quieten
Portage. See attachment.

lilo-22.7.2-install-nostrip.patch

*** Bug 140326 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Looks like I closed this bug a little too early, sorry about that. Thanks for
the install-nostrip patch Ulrich, this has been incorporated into the
lilo-22.7.2-r2 ebuild.
