6934 By default, the OpenEmbedded build system strips
6935 binaries in the resulting sysroot.
6936 When you specifically set the
6937 <filename>INHIBIT_SYSROOT_STRIP</filename> variable to
6938 "1" in your recipe, you inhibit this stripping.

6942 If you want to use this variable, include the
6943 <link linkend='ref-classes-staging'><filename>staging</filename></link>
6944 class.
6945 This class uses a <filename>sys_strip()</filename>
6946 function to test for the variable and acts accordingly.
6947 <note>
6948 Use of the <filename>INHIBIT_SYSROOT_STRIP</filename>
6949 variable occurs in rare and special circumstances.
6950 For example, suppose you are building bare-metal
6951 firmware by using an external GCC toolchain.
6952 Furthermore, even if the toolchain's binaries are
6953 strippable, other files exist that are needed for the
6954 build that are not strippable.
