Would it be OK to say: INSTALL_STRIP_FLAG=$${INSTALL_STRIP_FLAG:-s} \
in lib/am/install.am? I'm not sure about 3 things: - if I "quoted" that right - if ${foo:-value} is sufficiently portable - if it's Bad to leave INSTALL_STRIP_FLAGS set in general In this last case, it might be a choice to have INSTALL_STRIP_ENABLE as the thing that controls the use of INSTALL_STRIP_FLAGS. Just more ramblings... H
