Peter, it's unlikely given the timeframe, but do you happen to remember why
you specified -x when stripping static libs? This seems to be all the way back

     Add make install-strip target.


Afaict the only safe thing to use when stripping static libs is
-g/--strip-debug.

I suspect this was copied from GNU Libtool.  Libtool still has that but 
later changed the stripping of static libraries on darwin to "strip -S". 
 Maybe should adopt that.
