all binaries and libraries are stripped by default... from man 5 make.conf (FEATURES): nostrip Prevents the stripping of binaries that are merged to the live filesystem. splitdebug Prior to stripping ELF etdyn and etexec files, the debugging info is stored for later use by various debuggers. This feature is disabled by nostrip.
