[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] INSTALL for autotools packages with hardcoded '-s'

[Jonathan Ben-Avraham]

From: Jonathan Ben Avraham <yba at tkos.co.il>

The Makefile.in's of some autotools packages such as yp-tools and ypbind-mt do
not use the "install-sh" script for installing executables but instead call the
detected BSD compatible 'install' binary directly with hardcoded '-s' parameter.
This results in a build failure when the host 'strip' is invoked on binaries
compiled for a different arch. The 'install-without-strip' script removes the
'-s' parameter and execs the 'install' binary in PATH to solve this problem.
These autotools packages can then be build under Buildroot by specifying
<package>_CONF_ENV = INSTALL=support/scripts/install-without-strip
