 Automake should be doing The Right Thing wrt cross-stripping binaries.  
As binutils do not build any target binaries that should be enough, but 
our top level is meant to be used with more complex setups and should be 
capable of handling GCC and src trees combined.  Therefore as Ralf 
mentioned, support for using in-tree strip may be needed; I reckon the 
scripts are already capable of doing this for other tools so things may be 
as easy as copying & pasting the existing bits.  Then again, maybe not. ;)
