## function strip_bins

#### Main purpose

1. Strip any ELF binaries, static libraries or dynamically linked ELF libraries

#### Notes

By default this function will strip all the libs and binaries in the PKG_DIR if they haven't already been stripped. Strip options can be controlled by using the BIN_STRIP_COMMAND and LIB_STRIP_COMMAND variables. You can also disable stripping of binaries and/or libraries by using STRIP_BINS=NO and/or STRIP_LIBS=NO. This is only occassionally needed and the default strip commands seem to work for most cases.
An advanced package creation routine is also called by strip_bins which will compress the binaries in the PKG_DIR using the upx program, if present on your system. COMPRESS_BINS=YES calls this routine. This is not recommended for normal users or systems -only use this if you know what you are doing.
