Bug Description
The binaries in this package (and I think other gcc-14 packages as well) are not stripped, making them unnecessarily large and wasting disk space and download bandwidth.
For example:
nate@moneta:~$ ls -lh /usr/libexec/
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 313M Apr 16 00:03 /usr/libexec/
nate@moneta:~$ file /usr/libexec/
/usr/libexec/
nate@moneta:~$ size /usr/libexec/
text data bss dec hex filename
45483453 168048 2083288 47734789 2d86005 /usr/libexec/
So this file is 313M, but if stripped it would only be 44M.
All other Ubuntu packages appear to have stripped binaries.
