>Description:
Binaries in /usr/X11R6/bin should be stripped.  There is no reason
for preserving debugging information in production binaries.

>How-To-Repeat:
The most easy way to repeat this problem is using file(1):

$ file /usr/X11R6/bin/*

>Fix:
Linking those binaries with the "-s" option to omit all symbol
information from the output file.  The most clean way to do it
is adding "-s" to LDFLAGS in the makefiles and, of course,
removing "-g" in CFLAGS if set!
