Probably don't do that.
Fair point.
But perhaps the strip program doesn't handle the convention
that -- indicates end of option processing?
Perhaps a more portable workaround would be to prepend "./"
if the name starts with "-".
It would also be nice for $STRIP to provide a default if -S isn't set;
the usefulness of install -s is doubtful if
install -s binary $DESTDIR/bin
only works if binary happens to match the host arch.
Yes it's a fair point that calling strip without options is quite restrictive.
Though I suppose --strip-program can point to a script that calls strip
appropriately.
There are some security issues with env vars that impact what is executed.
I do see that FreeBSD install(1) does support $STRIPBIN, though they
don't support --strip-program, so functionality is equivalent from that point
of view.
cheers,
Pádraig
