Yup same. Also I hate the "just strip it" advice. I don't know who on earth strips random binaries and has them actually work fine afterward 100% of the time. Stripping after linking frequently breaks binaries I try it on.
Yup that's exactly what I mean. Nobody ever mentions that flag when recommending stripping, and it's frustrating when you realize it's broken. It's been a few years, but even when I finally discovered and tried that flag, it still didn't quite do the right thing. Either it failed to strip stuff that -s stripped, or it still produced a binary that didn't work... I forget what exactly the issue was. I just remember failing to find an alternative to cc -s that was guaranteed to work.
