Hi Juergen, Following up on http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=511668 It looks like this is just a matter of sed'ing the Makefile.src file: config/templates/Makefile.src and replace: for prog in $(progs); do \ $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) $$prog$(BINEXT) $(bindir); strip $(bindir)/$$prog$(BINEXT) ;\ done into for prog in $(progs); do \ $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) $$prog$(BINEXT) $(bindir); done What do you think ? thanks, -- Mathieu
