Comment (by jreed):

 We use automake.
 http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/standards.html#Standard-
 Targets
 Their policy is: ``Do not strip executables when installing them. This
 helps eventual debugging that may be needed later, and nowadays disk space
 is cheap and dynamic loaders typically ensure debug sections are not
 loaded during normal execution. Users that need stripped binaries may
 invoke the install-strip target to do that.''

 (By the way, while pkgsrc does strip by default, NetBSD base is not
 stripped.)
