That seems to be the problem - you shouldn't run perl during install. It's
best to avoid everything except install, cp, mv, rm and the like.
I also remember lily building fonts during install, but this seems not to
be the case anymore.

ok. (su -c is non-standard, btw. :-)
That does the job. There are also places, where 'strip' is called, but
fortunately all my systems use ELF, so that's no problem.
