[LLVMdev] install and the strip command

[Reed Kotler]

So I guess the question is: how do you do the make install?

I'm rebuilding right now with --enable-keep-symbols and then perhaps it 
can be installed on either the host or target.

It's always possible to later strip the binaries in the installed bin 
directory.
