Well, after digging in configure script, and putting some debug code,
the culprit is ....
chkrootkit.
It has a "strings" binary" which exhibits the very same error :

And, in fact, the problem has already been reported in freebsd-gnome :

I dunno why chkrootkit uses a very common and standard binary name for
their own.
