The .comment section contained GCC version information which could cause different build output from just a minor update in GCC. The information is not needed so we strip this. The strip command was invoked using xargs, spawning a new process for each file. This is inefficient as xargs can correctly run the strip command with multiple file names. ----- ttaken from https://github.com/Electron-Cash/Electron-Cash/commit/43aaf9572f822b977ecffe68f9cce428e5d27c18 Diffstat: M contrib/build-linux/appimage/build… | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) --- DIR diff --git a/contrib/build-linux/appimage/build.sh b/contrib/build-linux/appimage/build.sh t@@ -178,13 +178,14 @@ info "Copying additional libraries" info "stripping binaries from debug symbols." # "-R .note.gnu.build-id" also strips the build id +# "-R .comment" also strips the GCC version information strip_binaries() { chmod u+w -R "$APPDIR" { printf '%s\0' "$APPDIR/usr/bin/python3.6" find "$APPDIR" -type f -regex '.*\.so\(\.[0-9.]+\)?$' -print0 - } | xargs -0 --no-run-if-empty --verbose -n1 strip -R .note.gnu.build-id + } | xargs -0 --no-run-if-empty --verbose strip -R .note.gnu.build-id -R .comment } strip_binaries
