If you really want to install stripped binaries, you can use:

	make INSTALL_PROGRAM='$(INSTALL) -s' install

if you have a system with BSDish install program, that is.

It may be a good idea to introduce 
	STRIP = :
and then call 
	$(STRIP) <installed-binary> 
at the appropriate places in gcc's Makefiles, so that harddisk-starved users  
can override this more easily by using
	make STRIP=strip install
