Looking around /usr/share/{aclocal,auto}* it looks to me that automake |
| 24 |
tries to honor the ${STRIP} variable set by the user as the program used |
| 25 |
to strip binaries. Somebody else suggested replacing /usr/bin/strip with |
| 26 |
a link to `true`. You could export STRIP=/usr/bin/true into the build |
| 27 |
environment for the same effect. |

Actually, we may want to do this in Portage when "nostrip" is set. |
