Re: install -s

 Should install -s really fail if strip fails?  I noticed cross-binutils

 For a point of reference, I'm running a recent 7-STABLE.

It's best that if strip fails, install fails.  strip could unlink the
original file but fail for some reason to rename the temp file to the
original name.

Your problem could be a bug in the cross-binutils Makefile; scripts
shouldn't be installed with install -s.  BSD-style Makefiles use PROG= and
SCRIPTS= definitions, and automake-generated Makefiles use foo_PROGRAMS= and
foo_SCRIPTS= to install executable binaries vs scripts.

Sorry about the typo in the title of this thread.  I don't know how that
happened.
