The reason the -s flag is not in the man page for cc is because it is a
ld flag. Options that affect the linking and loading of files are passed by
cc to ld, which is standard across most unix machines. I should of read the
man page more carefully :-). This sort of ties in with the recent discussion
about keeping executable sizes down, the -s option is same as the strip
command - remove the symbol table from the executable. I would not
do this until you feel the program is completely debuged or is being released.
After the symbol table is removed debugers are almost totally useless.
