>Description:
	The porters handbook says to use the ${STRIP} macro to strip binaries
	(assuming you aren't using ${INSTALL_PROGRAM} to do it), but it
	really should use $(STRIP_CMD).
>How-To-Repeat:
	Read the porters handbook, and then try using it.
>Fix:

This patch fixes the porters handbook to recommend the proper macro.
