  Just as a note...

  I don't know how other rpm based distributions did it, but in the rpms
I built, what I did was this:

%define __os_install_post %{___build_post}

in the top of the spec file, so that rpm post scripts will not insist in
strip everything.

and added this to the bottom of the %install

(set +x; strip %{buildroot}%{prefix}/bin/* || :)
(set +x; strip %{buildroot}%{prefix}/lib/lib*.so* || :)
