Comment (by vorner):

 I'm not really sure about what other projects do, but isn't this something
 the
 packagers would do instead of each separate project?

 If I look at the gentoo system I use, build looks like this:
  * Build the software.
  * Install it to some temporary prefix (eg. `make D=/some/path install`).
  * Strip all binaries found there according to global preferences.

 For example, on my system, all software is compiled with `-g` and debug
 information is extracted to separate file before the stripping happens. If
 we stripped during the install step, then the debug information would be
 lost. I doubt all software is patched not to strip as part of the build
 process.
