If I understand this correctly, you force LDFLAGS=-s, which
causes programs to be stripped at link time, then `make
install-strip' fails because `strip' complains it has nothing to
do.  (Too bad this a hard error instead of a warning.)

I'm not sure how I could fix this.  OTOH it's specific to your
installation, and that LDFLAGS=-s makes `make install-strip'
useless anyway.  Can you live with this spurious test-suite
failure?
