Ticket 193: libossp-uuid should not use install -s; cross-compilation issue
It's more challenging than one would like to cross-compile libossp-uuid. This is in part because it uses 'install -s' in its makefile. This whitepaper has some information about why this is a problem: ¤https://www.kernel.org/doc/ols/2004/ols2004v2-pages-163-174.pdf‎
In a nutshell, the strip binary doesn't work when it encounters a file from a different architecture. So when 'install' invokes '/usr/bin/strip' it gets the wrong version of strip when cross-compiling. A cleaner solution is to define STRIP in the makefile and invoke it directly. That way, a cross-compile environment can just override $STRIP.
Thanks!
