The original version was:
- hard-wire /usr/bin/strip and pass in the toolchain strip via STRIP

The current version after this commit is:
- hard-wire toolchain strip and don't require any override

Without the rename it is impossible to relay on this behaviour and I
strongly believe that calling the correct strip is an implementation
detail of nbinstall and should not be exported via the calling
convention. This change makes the toolchain more self-contained in that
I can just call the install (e.g. from pkgsrc) and it does the right
thing and I don't have to worry about strip at all. This was what
triggered the change BTW.
