Yes, I remember that error. I'll have to look around for someone who can give
me tiome on a Mac OS X system in order to work on it. For now, you can continue
by working with unstripped binaries. After configuring, edit config.mk in the
top-level build directory and look for the line:
INSTALL_PROGRAM = $(INSTALL_SCRIPT) -s
Just remove the -s and no stripping will be done.

Do you know a better set of options? Perhaps you could experiment by making
further changes to config.mk (after the configure), and letting me know what
works.

I'm not really very familiar with Mac OS X. Could you give me a bit of a
description of this feature?
