CodeSourcery’s GLIBC contains debugging symbols so that you can more easily debug programs linked against the C library. If you are burning GLIBC into flash, or otherwise need to save space, you can use: m68k-linux-gnu –strip-debug /path/to/lib/libc.so.6 to remove debugging information. A similar command can be used to remove debugging information from other shared objects, such as libm.so.6.
