[PATCH] Make coreutils 6.x+ install utility to honor STRIP env variable

[Khem Raj <raj.khem@gmail.com>]

Hi

As reported in bug 5052 and also on irc, install calls strip directly. We should make it use STRIP
env variable which is set to <cross-strip> in OE env.

This is a patch which does that

OK for .dev ?

Thx
