Pull request overview

This PR aims to prevent MacVim/Vim binaries from crashing on startup on macOS by changing the strip tool used during installation, based on issue #1692 indicating binutils strip can produce a malfunctioning binary.

Changes:

  • Force the build/install process to use macOS’s /usr/bin/strip instead of relying on whatever strip is discovered/selected via configuration.
