Many packages use strip internally, some hardcode the path. Please check the makefile to see if they use a variable for /usr/bin/strip, such as STRIP. If this is the case, I think the solution is to just override that variable on the make command line in the build system makefile, and set it to ':' or 'true'. The build system takes care of all stripping.
