[Lazarus] How to reduce size of lazarus itself?

[Bo Berglund]

I just checked out 2.0.12 on a RaspberryPi4 and built it using my existing fpc
3.2.0.
The size of the executable is 271,368,224 bytes, which reduces to 30,127,876
after using strip -s on it (takes away all the symbols).

Since I am never ever going to be debugging lazarus itself, is there some
setting I can use to NOT include the symbols in the first place?
I want a lean and fast binary...

Obviously since Lazarus rebuilds itself when packages are installed in the IDE,
this setting must be part of the installation somehow.
