I'm not sure this is the right place to document this.

address@hidden install-strip and STRIP
address@hidden AC_CHECK_TOOL([STRIP],[strip])
+Installed binaries are usually stripped using @code{strip} when you run
address@hidden install-strip}. However @code{strip} might not be the
+right tool to use in cross-compilation environments, therefore
+Automake will honor the @code{STRIP} environment variable to overrule
+the program used to perform stripping. Automake will not set @code{STRIP}
+itself. If your package is not setup for cross-compilation you do not
+have to care (@code{strip} is ok), otherwise you can set @code{STRIP}
+automatically by calling @code{AC_CHECK_TOOL([STRIP],[strip])} from
+your @file{configure.in}.
