Given the controversy that this option created even within this small 
group, I'd suggest to post a question to comp.os.msdos.djgpp and gather 
some user replies before we decide to make this change.  That's assuming 
we want it (of which I'm not certain).

Btw, other compilers (e.g. Borland) don't automatically strip the symbols 
unless you specifically say so.
