There is an updated pull request by tornaria against master on the void-packages repository https://github.com/tornaria/void-packages nostrip_files https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/34886 nostrip_files: allow full path The option `nostrip_files` takes a filename without path, in contrast to option `nopie_files` which takes only full path. This is inconvenient in a case where there are two binaries with the same name and only one must be stripped. Case in point: maxima contains executables /usr/lib/maxima/5.45.1/binary-ecl/maxima /usr/lib/maxima/5.45.1/binary-sbcl/maxima The second one breaks if stripped, but the first one is ok to strip (desirable: 59M -> 13M). See: https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/34861#issuecomment-1006197772 This commit makes it so that `nostrip_files` can take either the filename or the full path. A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/34886.patch is attached
