The "strip" command has some different options:

 --strip-all  to remove all symbols
 --strip-debug  to only remove debugging symbols
 --strip-unneeded  ...

If I'm trying to save space on a bunch of binaries, is there any reason
NOT to use --strip-all?  Is there any chance it could cause problems
with program execution?
