The configure script understands the STRIP environment variable, which is not being provided. As a result, it calls the native strip program which dumps a couple dozen lines of "unrecognized input" messages in the build output when cross-compiling.

Build systems should NOT call any strip tool (either ${CHOST}-strip or llvm-strip). Portage will call appropriate strip tool (respecting ${STRIP}) unless user disables it.

Works for me, thanks.
