Comment 6 for bug 1318027

I asked about this upstream and the consensus was that stripping binaries compiled with the gc toolchain should work and does work as far as anyone knows: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golang-dev/ABppMOjYP6w . So the advice to avoid stripping Go binaries is officially rescinded. Report breakages!

Gccgo is a different matter: binaries built with gccgo must not be stripped. We could open a dialogue upstream as to how this requirement could be lifted, but this has not happened yet TTBOMK.
