Hello,

i've spotted a problem in makepkg's cleanup part if the host is running bash-4.0. As makepkg runs bash with option -e, on bash-4.0 it fails if strip reports an unsupported binary.
The following trivial patch fixes the problem.

I don't think this is a good approach to the problem. Having "|| true" means if there is a real problem, then it gets ignored.
What real problem could arise?
An unsupported binary? Would print errors but creates the package mostly stripped. A missing strip command? Would print errors but creates the package unstripped. A damaged storage... but i think in that case makepkg would have failed in the actual build step and not in cleanup.
I suppose the real question is: How do you actually get an unsupported binary? My guess is this occurs when building a package from a binary source, in which case "options=('!strip')" would be the solution.
The package that triggered this, was xen.
xen installs some gzipped content inside /usr/lib which strip doesn't support.

$ file -biz usr/lib/xen/boot/ioemu-stubdom.gz
application/x-executable; charset=binary compressed-encoding=application/x-gzip; charset=binary; charset=binary

The file itself is a bootable image file for grub.

The library strip lines are not needed.
What about a case which catches *"*compressed-encoding*" and continues with the next file?*
