I would like to document this on the NetBSD guide, but one question pops in
my head: isn't strip a better alternative to this kind of procedures ?
I mean, if you want to strip the binary you'll use something like:
strip -s -R .comment -R .ident /netbsd
i don't think "strip" is the right tool; we don't want to remove the
symbol table.
