How can I do a "make install-strip" of the tools

I am building the tools as follows:

cd ~/Downloads
mkdir riscv
cd riscv
git clone --recursive https://github.com/riscv/riscv-gnu-toolchain
cd riscv-gnu-toolchain
cd riscv-gcc
contrib/download_prerequisites
cd ..
./configure --prefix=`pwd`/riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc --enable-multilib --disable-float
make

This builds and installs the tools but the executables are unstripped.

How can I tell the build process to do make install-strip rather than make install for each package?

Do I have to edit the configure script or make some other change?

Thanks a lot.

I imagine you'll probably have to edit the configure script.

Thanks. I couldn't see where in the configure script this might be controlled so I tried editing the Makefile.in but at least one of the targets built didn't support make install-strip.

I'll have to investigate further but just wondered if anybody had done this before.
