Any other suggestions?
Would it be viable to modify the build system such that test binaries which ran successfully get stripped after they ran?
It might be possible...
Having the then unneeded debug symbols removed would help a lot.

What are the required commands to strip an executable?
with the GNU binutils the most simple command is: strip <filename> There is a whole bunch of command line switches that gives you more control over what gets stripped from the file, see strip(1). But I can't remember ever using this command myself whence I can't say which switches are more helpful than others.
