During the 2.9 series, we did change mkoctfile to strip .oct files. This
was more of an oversight than by intention, I guess (we wanted to
strip .oct files shipped with Octave itself and the corresponding flag
floated into mkoctfile). This was changed at 2.9.14.

Diff attached, it's against the 2.9.12 directory in
mpitb-beta-FC6-OCT2912-LAM713-OMPI123.tar.bz2

This is upstream's (ie John's) default, and it helps me when debugging
other stuff, so yes, it is intended.
A different option to the diff might be some sort of
$ find -name "*.oct" -exec strip '{}' \;
