Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2020-06-12 22:04:41 UTC

Since elfutils 0.170, eu-strip supports -R / --remove-section option:

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=elfutils.git;a=blob;f=NEWS;h=3d097c68438489b028e2eb6931f8287fd9a46652;hb=HEAD#l197
"""
strip: Add -R, --remove-section=SECTION and --keep-section=SECTION.
"""

"--remove-comment" is the same as "-R .comment".

(eu-strip still does not support -N / --strip-symbol option, which would be good to use when it is implemented (Bug #686282).)

I suggest to call eu-strip with the same -R options as for GNU strip / llvm-strip:
  -R .comment -R .GCC.command.line -R .note.gnu.gold-version
