[OctDev] stripping binaries

[Paul K. <pki...@ja...>]

Hi,

In the latest release of octave-forge, I moved the binary stripping code
from sparse/Makefile to octave-forge/Makeconf so now all oct-files are
stripped after compiling.  This happens to break the Mac OSX version of
octave-forge, so something has to change.  This is arguably an octave bug,
so it may be octave which changes.

Anybody have any opinions on whether oct-files should be stripped?
I see smaller binaries.  Is that mostly due to the -g option?
Are there speed considerations, or are those due to -g as well?
Should we selectively strip some of the binaries?

Thanks for your input.
