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).
