You can use 'strip -aout <fname>' to strip it.  As far as I know, there
is currently no way to specify the executable format to 'install -s'.
I haven't tried it, but you might be able to use the OBJFORMAT or
OBJECT_FORMAT (not sure which form is correct) environment variable to
make install DTRT for aout.
