University of Oviedo
>Environment:
Sorry, the machine is not networked yet.  It is using the standard
GENERIC_LAPTOP kernel in both 2.0_RC5 and 2.0.
>Description:
Binaries in NetBSD 2.0 RC5 and NetBSD 2.0 are not stripped.  I am
not sure if it is a requirement for debugging SMP and native threads,
but it is a bit annoying running not stripped binaries in a
production system.  Debugging information should not be required
in production binaries.
>How-To-Repeat:
The file(1) command provides required feedback about the state of
each binary in the NetBSD operating system.
>Fix:
Rebuilding the binaries on the NetBSD operating system without
debugging information.
