Hi Damyan
I probably right now have understood what is going on...

Effectively is not stripping by default (as often happens) and the
option present in the makefile called install-strip is also not
stripping as compiling and then installing with make install-strip gives
a package that has exactly the same dimension as the package with the
normal make install.
So you are right, it is safe to leave it as is since is not stripped at
all and I can set up the original make install.
BTW: I uploaded the improved package right now if you want to take a
look at:

Feel free to tell me your opinion about it!
cheers
