I think we are pretty-much dependent on GNU make already (it is possible to raise a weather balloon to confirm by renaming Makefile to GNUmakefile and observing if anybody complains, I think). But I am not sure what such a rule does for a .PHONY target like 'strip'. Does it do the right thing, i.e. "install recipe is run after 'strip' recipe has run, iff 'strip' is also asked for"? Thanks.
