That would work, too. At the same time: wouldn't it be nicer to let `make
-j15 strip install` Do The Right Thing?
Oh, absolutely. With "make all install" and "make strip install",
building (and optional stripping) should complete before the
"install" target kicks in.
It may be a bit tricky to implement, though. Making 'install'
depend unconditionally on 'all' is trivial, but we want it to depend
on 'strip' only when 'strip' is part of the targets requested.
