Running `make install-string' requires that INSTALL is defined in the environment, otherwise INSTALL_PROGRAM will be defined as ' -s'. The toplevel makefile has this: INSTALL_STRIP_PROGRAM = $${INSTALL} -s thus install-strip runs the command: make INSTALL_PROGRAM="${INSTALL} -s" \ INSTALL_PROGRAM_ENV='' install This is probably a bug in automake 1.4e.
