+# Libstrip - A utility to optimize libraries for specific executables

+# This is a surprisingly simple script that gets a list of
+# unresolved symbols in a list of executables specified on the
+# command line, and then relinks the uClibc shared object file
+# with only the those symbols and their dependencies.  This
+# results in a shared object that is optimized for the executables
+# listed, and thus may not work with other executables.
+#
+# Example: optimizing uClibc for BusyBox
+#  Compile uClibc and BusyBox as normal.  Then, in this
+#  directory, run:
+#    libstrip path/to/busybox
+#  After the script completes, there should be a new
+#  libuClibc-0.9.5.so in the current directory, which
+#  is optimized for busybox.
+#
+# How it works:
+#  The uClibc Makefiles create libuClibc.so by first creating
+#  the ar archive libc.a with all the object files, then links
+#  the final libuClibc.so by using 'ld --shared --whole-archive'.
+#  We take advantage of the linker command line option --undefined,
+#  which pulls in a symbol and all its dependencies, and so relink
+#  the library using --undefined for each symbol in place of
+#  --whole-archive.  The linker script is used only to avoid
+#  having very long command lines.
