yes for echo and true which can be found via PATH,
but not ':' which is a shell builtin.
And obviously not 'false' ... because it exits non-Zero:

  $ berny@blackice:~/coreutils> src/ginstall src/install.c foo -sv 
--strip-program=true
  'src/install.c' -> 'foo'

  $ src/ginstall src/install.c foo -sv --strip-program=false
  'src/install.c' -> 'foo'
  ginstall: strip process terminated abnormally

Have a nice day,
Berny
