That maybe a problem. There is an option for "emerge" that recompiles
all the dependencies from the bottom up (--emptytree). So users could
add the "nostrip" and recompile everything. But, yes, it isn't easy for
the user to do that unless they've got a pretty fast machine.

I can only point to "man emerge" which says (we probably should have an
HTML version online):
info This is a list of information to include in bug reports which
aids the developers with fixing any problems you may report.
Please include this information when submitting a bug report.
Expanded output can be obtained with the --verbose option.
And also the bugs.gentoo.org submit page in the additional information
section:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Gentoo%20Linux&format=guided
I hope that helps.
