I tried this out. How can it work?
I re-ran the resulting automake on automake itself.
In the top level Makefile I see this:
INSTALL_STRIP_PROGRAM = ${SHELL} $(install_sh) -c -s
INSTALL_STRIP_PROGRAM_ENV = STRIPPROG='strip'
install_sh = ../automake/install-sh
install-strip:
$(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) INSTALL_PROGRAM='$(INSTALL_STRIP_PROGRAM)' \
INSTALL_PROGRAM_ENV='$(INSTALL_STRIP_PROGRAM_ENV)' install
I think relying on a subdir `make' invocation expanding
`INSTALL_PROGRAM' correctly is not too likely to work. And besides
this the definition of `install_sh' in m4/Makefile seems wrong anyway:
install_sh = ../automake/install-sh
What if we change the rule to do something like this?
install-strip:
$(MAKE) ... INSTALL_PROGRAM=`cd somewhere && pwd`/install-sh ...
`somewhere' would be computed by running sed on $(install_sh).
Comments?
