New issue 505 by jach... at gmail.com: Strip the executable file created  
during recompilation
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=505

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. recompile xmonad

I think it's a good idea to strip the executable file generated during  
recompilation to make it even more lightweight.

My xmonad version is 0.10

I believe the following code is pretty self-explanatory:

$ cd
$ xmonad --recompile
$ ls --size .xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux
2552 .xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux
$ file .xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux
.xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1  
(SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.32,

$ strip .xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux
$ ls --size .xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux
