The Makefiles contain: strip: $(ALL_LIBS) $(ALL_BINS) ifneq ($(strip $(STATIC_LIBS)),) exec $(STRIP) -x -R .note -R .comment $(STATIC_LIBS) endif ifneq ($(strip $(ALL_BINS)$(SHARED_LIBS)),) exec $(STRIP) -R .note -R .comment $(ALL_BINS) $(SHARED_LIBS) endif Other skaware packages might also have the same issue. Reported based on the following note at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces: > Some packages unfortunately handle stripping by themselves, inside the upstream provided makefiles. This is an error and should be reported. All packages should leave Portage the task of the stripping or simply restrict stripping entirely.
I don't think the ebuild calls the 'strip' target, and 'strip' doesn't seem to be a dependency of 'all' or 'install'. I also don't get Portage's QA warning for pre-stripped binaries when installing sys-apps/s6-2.12.0.3. If you're seeing stripped binaries from the ebuild, please provide more information. (Also, no need to manually CC maintainers. Bug wranglers do that.)
Gah. i spent about an hour last night on this, trying to make sure that it wasn't some issue with my setup, before reporting it today - only to find that i now can't reproduce. :-/ i keep trying to be more and more thorough before making bug reports, checking reproducibility etc., and yet .... Sorry for wasting your time. (Also, noted re. cc's.)
I've been there so, so, so many times :) Don't worry about it.
