IMHO program strip should be removed from meta/site/common-linux.
I had a problem in my recipe: 'make install' was failing due to /usr/bin/strip
failure to recognize file format (I am building for powerpc on x86_64 PC). I
traced this error back to ./configure that was selecting /usr/bin/strip instead
of powerpc-fsl-linux-gnuspe-strip. After some more digging I found that
configure selects strip due to line
db_cv_path_strip=${db_cv_path_strip=/usr/bin/strip}
in meta/site/common-linux.
I solved it by setting CONFIG_SITE="" in my recipe.
IMHO common-linux should contain only architecture-independent definitions.
strip is architecture-dependent (e.g. x86 strip can't handle powerpc files), so
it shouldn't be defined in meta/site/common-linux.
