mingw strip libraries

Hi,

The arch packaging standards is ambiguous towards mingw library stripping:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mi … Guidelines

1. For dynamic libraries dll, the stripping command differs between mingw32 and mingw-w64, is this correct:
${_arch}-strip --strip-unneeded *.dll
i486-mingw32-strip -x -g *.dll

2. For import libraries dll.a, nothing is mentionned, is this intentional,
some packages strip it with -g, some don't.

What is the right way ?
