The GNU Coding Standards explain this: http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Standard-Targets.html#Standard-Targets Do not strip executables when installing them. This helps eventual debugging that may be needed later, and nowadays disk space is cheap and dynamic loaders typically ensure debug sections are not loaded during normal execution. Users that need stripped binaries may invoke the install-strip target to do that.
