>Description:
While building gcc, I tried passing INSTALL_PROGRAM_ARGS="-s" to make in order to strip executables when they are installed.  The gccbug shell script is not an executable, but it adds the -s option anyway so strip fails with an "unknown format" error.  It should not be trying to strip a shell script.  It tries because the line to install gccbug uses the $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) variable instead of the $(INSTALL_SCRIPT) variable.
>How-To-Repeat:
after configuring gcc and making all, use make install INSTALL_PROGRAM_ARGS="-s" and it should fail when trying to install gccbug
>Fix:
I have attached a patch which I believe fixes the problem.
