Messing with $ORACLE_HOME/bin

I have a question about the $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory on Solaris, AIX, and Alpha OSF/1.

(1) The executables in bin are not stripped. I found that, by running strip

    against them, I saved from 1/3 to 1/2 of the space taken up before.

(2) Several of the executables are identical except for name. I found that I

    could save from 50-90MB by deleting the all but one of the binaries which     are identical and making them symbolic links to the one remaining binary.

While these two methods yield a considerable savings in disk space, is there anything which could bite me if I do this?
