GCC install-strip

[Sebastian Huber]

Hello,

I normally install a cross-compiler GCC via "make install". The 
executables size increased quite noticeable in recent GCC releases. So, 
I tried to use "make install-strip". Unfortunately this also strips the 
target libraries libsupc++.a, libstdc++.a, libssp.a, libssp_nonshared.a 
and libgomp.a. Interestingly the target libraries libgcc.a, libm.a and 
libc.a are NOT stripped. Having the debugging information available in 
the target libraries is quite nice. What is the intended behaviour of 
"make install-strip" for target libraries? Is there a make target that 
includes only the executables and libraries for the host system?
