INSTALL_STRIP_FLAG is apparently hardwired.

2002-04-25 Thread Harlan Stenn
install.am hardwires the INSTALL_STRIP_FLAG to -s. I think this is a lose - there are cases (like installing kernel modules for an embedded system) where one wants to do a stripped install but -s is "too much". In the existing code there is apparently no way to override this. What's a good solu
