Using the host strip on target binaries cannot work, as you guessed in
this thread.

It's because the Makefile.in shipped by the package doesn't obey to the
$(STRIP) variable. So, you have several options :

 * Use <pkg>_INSTALL_TARGET_OPT as suggested later in the thread to not
   use the install-strip target but the install target instead. This is
   ok, as all binaries are stripped by the main Buildroot Makefile at
   the end of the build process anyway.

 * Add <pkg>_AUTORECONF=YES to your .mk file, which should re-generate
   a Makefile.in that will likely do the right thing with $(STRIP)

Regards,

Thomas
