D'oh, my memory seems to be failing me. What Ben is saying does sound
familiar now. I might have just worked around it by using something
like 'cd /usr/ports/*/pkgng && make STRIP=/bin/echo install'

Not as clean a solution as patching strip, certainly, but hopefully it
gets you up and running if you don't want to bother with all that.
