Maybe a more experienced developer/packager knows exactly what you're
talking about but I need more information...

I know I recently ran into an issue where a small project was using a
simple makefile (no configure, autotools, scons, or cmake) and it was
stripping the libraries/binaries. I ended up fixing it by deleting the
line in the makefile from the spec file in the %prep section, i.e.:

sed -i '/strip/d' Makefile
