How was compiled the *.exe file ?

For both Unix and Windows stripped programs do not contain any more any 
symbol. Example from one of my package:

$ nm ncview.exe |wc -l
5540

$ nm ncview.exe |tail
00440824 T _XUndefineCursor
00424b8b t _xy_track_pointer
0062a230 b _y0.4078
0062a270 b _y0.4110
00424864 t _yaxis_range_callback
00626a68 b _ydim_selection_widget
00626a6c b _ydimlist_label_widget
00626a70 b _ydimlist_widget
00632890 i fthunk
00632498 i hname

but
$ nm /usr/bin/ncview.exe
nm: /usr/bin/ncview.exe: no symbols

As the installed version was stripped.
