rdesktop build on cygwin gone wrong

Sorry for the cross-post, but...

Ok, so I downloaded rdesktop 1.4.1 to build it with cygwin on a WinXP Pro 
machine.  And on the "make install", I am getting this error:

jic 16:32:18-> make install
mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
/usr/bin/install -c rdesktop /usr/local/bin
strip /usr/local/bin/rdesktop
strip: /usr/local/bin/rdesktop: No such file or directory
make: *** [installbin] Error 1

I've tried it a few times and I still get the the same problem.  Here is the 
interesting part: rdesktop works and the man page also.  Huh!

Any ideas?

thanks,

josé
