Wound up doing the strip by explicitly invoking /usr/libexec/aout/strip, which produces a warning in portlint about explicit paths.

The same goes for the ${INSTALL_*} macros, too. -- Conrad Sabatier http://members.home.net/conrads/ ICQ# 1147270 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
