My change to configure.in had put this in configure:

if test "${enable_stripped+set}" = set; then
enableval="$enable_stripped"
INSTALL="$INSTALL -s"
LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -s"
fi;

but INSTALL wasn't yet set and later configure checked to see if it
should be set:

if test -z "$INSTALL"; then
..

and since I'd set INSTALL, none of the code that found /usr/bin/install
and added -c to it was executed. As a result, my Makefile ended up with:

INSTALL = $(LIBTOOL) --mode=install -s

with --enable-strippped and

INSTALL = $(LIBTOOL) --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c

without.


So, I changed my new configure clause to:

if test "${enable_stripped+set}" = set; then
enableval="$enable_stripped"
INSTALL_OPT="$INSTALL_OPT -s"
LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -s"
fi;

and later added INSTALL_OPT where INSTALL was set:

if test "${ac_cv_path_install+set}" = set; then
INSTALL="$ac_cv_path_install $INSTALL_OPT"
else
...

I did this manually in configure to prove it worked before monkeying
with configure.in and autoconf. Sure enough, that worked. But I can't
find anything in configure.in that leads to the preceeding clause so I
can edit it to include INSTALL_OPT. What configure.in code results in

if test "${ac_cv_path_install+set}" = set; then
INSTALL="$ac_cv_path_install"
else
# As a last resort, use the slow shell script. We don't cache a
# path for INSTALL within a source directory, because that will
# break other packages using the cache if that directory is
# removed, or if the path is relative.
INSTALL="$ac_install_sh"
fi

?
