Time to stop stripping binaries?

[M. Warner Losh]

Greetings,

Now that disks are big, can we stop stripping binaries by default?

I've worked up a patch that lets you set WITH_BINARY_SYMBOLS or
WITHOUT_BINARY_SYMBOLS as you see fit.  We should commit it regardless
of the outcome of this discussion (well, defaulting to yes or no
depending on the outcome).

Why symbols: it makes core dumps easier to debug.
Why no symbols: makes the system footprint bigger.

Since there's good arguments both ways, I thought I'd make this a
knob.

Comments?
