>Description:
pt_chown is being installed as data which prevents it from being
stripped when requested.
>How-To-Repeat:
After issuing the following commands:
INSTALL_PROGRAM='${INSTALL} -s' <path_to_configure>/configure \
<needed_options>
make
make install
the resulting /usr/libexec/pt_chown is not stripped.
>Fix:
The following patch seems to work correctly for me:
diff -u --recursive --new-file glibc-2.0.96.macro/login/Makefile glibc-2.0.96/login/Makefile
