The log message explains. From the INSTALL(1) manpage:
-s install exec's the command strip(1) to strip binaries so that in-
stall can be portable over a large number of systems and binary
types. If the environment variable STRIP is set, it is used as
the strip(1) program.
So you need to set STRIP properly for `install -s ...' to work. Maybe
we should change all instances of STRIPPROG to STRIP. Or we need
something to set the STRIP environment variable to STRIPPROG before
calling INSTALL(1).
