[Dev-C++] Linker: -s Option

[<al...@ne...>]

Hi,

i've got a short question:

Including the linker option -s reduces the size of my dll from 130 KB to
only 76 KB.

The GCC help says -s "removes all symbol table and relocation information
from the executable."

I'm not sure what this actually means. Is it _always_ safe to do so?
Will there be any disadvantages?

I know that i won't be able to generate debugging information while i
use -s, but i'm more thinking of the final release that won't have
debugging information it.

Thanks, Alex
