Hm... I just recently have reactivated that prefix strip (I once

notice these warnings. I often configure without passing and --prefix
and thus I am used to these warnings...

It has a positive effect on the build result (I hope) and it migth have
a negative effect on the mood of the person who does the build :-)

Thanks for telling me about this problem. I'll think about it...
