This is PR/1689. A patch is included in the resolution of the bug
report. See the GNU make README file for information on accessing the
GNU make bug database.
I plan on releasing 3.79.1 relatively shortly with this and a few other
fixes.

I tried to use make 3.79 to build gtk+-1.2.7 and got the following error

$ (cd gtk; make check)
Makefile:472: *** Insufficient number of arguments (0) to function `strip'.
Stop.
$ make -v
