I kinda don't see why this would be useful. The symbol
table is not very useful for binaries built without -g,
so why waste even the small disk space?
i disagree quite heavily. binaries with *just* symbols in them are
actually quite useful if you are debugging. you don't have *real*
debug info but you can see what functions are what and often that's
all you need to find / fix a bug.
