NetBSD intrepid 5.99.6 NetBSD 5.99.6 (INTREPID.P5W) #0: Thu Jan  8 16:04:32 PST 2009  scotte@intrepid:/nbu/source/netbsd/src/obj.amd64/nbu/source/netbsd/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/INTREPID.P5W amd64
(Building -current as of 01/26/09)
>Description:
If /etc/mk.conf contains "STRIPFLAGS=-s" (to cause binaries to be stripped), a build of NetBSD/Alpha fails in stand/boot because "boot" isn't something that can be stripped (so strips fails with "unrecognized file type").

Oddly, this works on x86_64 (whose /usr/mdec/boot is also not an ELF binary!).  I don't suspect this is a cross-building problem, but perhaps it is.

>How-To-Repeat:
Include "STRIPFLAGS=-s" in /etc/mk.conf
Use build.sh to build NetBSD/Alpha -current
Note the build stops in /usr/src/sys/arch/alpha/stand/ (error from 'strip' when alpha--netbsd-install is called)
