>Description:
Darwin's native toolchain strips too much with the default STRIPFLAG="-s",
causing linking to fail. A better value is "-Wl,-x". However, STRIPFLAG is
also used by pkgsrc for /usr/bin/install, and this is still "-s".

Now that STRIPFLAG isn't always the same for both purposes, we want two
variables: STRIPFLAG_CC and STRIPFLAG_INSTALL.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to build e.g. net/djbdns on Darwin. Get this error:

/usr/bin/ld: can't use -s with input files containg indirect symbols (output
file must contain at least global symbols, for maximum stripping use -x)
>Fix:
http://netbsd.schmonz.com/patches/stripflag-darwin.diff

I'm not at all sure that devel/automake, editors/pico, misc/siag, or
sysutils/storage-manager are correct. (Can't test them, as they don't
build on Darwin for various other reasons.) The rest were pretty obvious
changes.
