I don't know the answer to this question, but suspect that it might be 
somewhere in a compiler tool-set, that one wouldn't necessarily want to 
have to install as a prerequisite for installing pre-compiled Acroread. 
  I've just looked at the Makefile: what does this line buy us?  
Wouldn't an appropriate fix for a failing acroread port build be to 
simply remove the call to LINUXBASE...strip altogether?

Cheers,
