Not sure if this still works, but here is a post from a couple
years ago to the rpm list:

Hi, everyone.
Is there any way to disable the strip of binaries and shared
libraries ?

It doesn't make any sense, and it doesn't work anyway!

Yeah, didn't make any sense to me either, but I aint
no rpm whiz, that for sure.

Can you just manually replace brp-strip in /usr/rpm/lib with a
do-nothing shell script before building the bitpim rpm, maybe?

I am actually :-) One of my other projects ships an RPM that
contains an RPM inside that, which then contains one inside
that. Anyone who has produced rpms before will know just how
challenging that is!

Nope, since I build other rpms for other projects. I did a
similar hack however frigging with one of the macros.
