[oe] build inconsistency (strip)

[Frans Meulenbroeks]

Koen, all, did some research on this.

On my system proftpd wanted to use an INSTALL macro and added the -s flag..
This macro evaluated to
/home/frans/oe/tmp_angstrom/staging/i686-linux/usr/bin/install -c
So it did strip on my system.
What I understood from Koen was that he got an error message on strip.
Either I misunderstood or there is an incompatibility here.
(and if there is an inconsistency I'd like my system to have the error
message too).

Still the following is strange to me:
I would expect
/home/frans/oe/tmp_angstrom/staging/i686-linux/usr/bin/install -s to
call the target strip (or maybe ignore the strip command).

Frans.
