My suggestion would be to default to empty for strip, and only append
--strip-program if it's non-empty.
That would adress both compatibility concerns and "install" variants clever enough to figure out the right strip command. 
That said, I am a bit surprised, I thought the "strip" command could usually handle all ELF files, independent of architecture?
Also, isn't it a bit unusual to run "make install" when cross-compiling?
That said except for the compatibility concerns I'm not against this change. 

Best regards, 
Reimar
