You need not have guessed nor reverse-engineered. In an Xcode build
settings dialog, select the Strip Style line and bring up the
Research Assistant. In the Abstract, it says:
Defines the level of symbol stripping to be performed on the linked
product of the build. The default value is defined by the target's
product type. [STRIP_STYLE]
All Symbols - Completely strips the binary, removing the symbol
table and relocation information. [all, -s]
Note that these are ld(1) options, not strip(1) options. And the man
page for ld says that "-s" is obsolete because "This file format
variant is no longer supported". On the other hand, running strip
without any options has the same effect as "ld -s" and there is no
mention anywhere of this being obsolete. So I'm not sure what the deal
is.
