[PATCH] Strip DWARF-2 debug information for libraries on Darwin.

[Peter O'Gorman]

Hi,

I don't really like running strip (or dsymutil) on the library, but the
debug information that is stored in the library/executable is really
only paths to and uuids of the object files, and libtool may have
removed those if convenience libraries were used. The .dSYM bundle
contains all of the debug information from the object files (even those
that we removed).

I forgot to update ChangeLog, will fix before pushing.

Ok?

Peter

* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_REQUIRED_DARWIN_CHECKS): Run strip -S after 
dsymutil if dsymutil created output.
