I'll try...but I just got back to work after a week off and am drowning in unread email and a release due out this week...:) > >etc/Makefile.in - use $(INSTALL_SCRIPT) to install the scripts instead > > of $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) so it doesn't try to run 'strip' on the > > installed scripts (which fails, btw). > > ...which would explain why I didn't notice this.

In my case, I was seeing a '-s' argument in INSTALL_PROGRAM, but not in INSTALL_SCRIPT...so that's why I made the patch I did (and, I assumed, the reason for the distinction between INSTALL_PROGRAM & INSTALL_SCRIPT). > So I think this needs more investigation before we consider > applying that bit of the patch.
