Very interesting, I ran strip -g in my executable file and it originaly
had ~900K now has ~300K, what it does ? I read man page but I can't
understand what he said.

(updated) : I read the man page and I look that -g option remove the
debug symbols, gdb will not work as I saw, I don't believe that debug
symbols occupies so much space ! 

But my doubt is if can I putting only the files that ldd gives me in
other system (with X files of course) I will have my code runing OK ?
I will do some experiments to see what happens and I will report.

Now I'm reading Linux from Scratch, I believe that will help me.
