Not sure if the standard build uses -g so maybe there is not much
debug stuff to strip.

Possibly, see the pull request comment.

Strange, none of the devs get any (AFAIK) with GTK2.  Thats why I
checked.  Can you paste the messages in a gist somewhere.  And exactly
the CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS and options you used.

These sound like something in gtkcompat isn't working right, maybe
some flag is not set right.  I'm not an expert in that area, Colomban
is, but wait until after this weekends release :)

Stick it in a gist, don't spam everybody watching the ML with big attachments :)
