You don’t need “--pure” because /usr won’t be available in the build
environment either way.

The Makevars file contains a syntax error.  Instead of joining the
checks with “&&” they used “&” which is for background execution.  So
instead of checking things and proceeding only if the checks passed they
would attempt to execute /usr/bin/strip unconditionally.

I only replaced the & with the intended &&, so now the check for
/usr/bin/strip fails and it’s not executed, which is just fine.
