Strip Error during 'make install'

...
arm-linux-strip: /disk1/nfs/mini2440/root_qtopia/usr/local/coki/db/createDB.sh: File format not recognized
make: [install_db] Error 1 (ignored)
...

Strip is the command in linux to remove the information for debug, e.g symbols and line number, from object files, thereby reducing file sizes and freeing disk space. It can greatly reduce the size:

259920 coki.stripped
354524 coki.notstripped

The reason of these troublesome error is obvious: 'make install' tried to strip some other files than binary executables. Actually you can just ignored these error. If you are some kind of perfectionist, see this thread for the solution.
