It's because the makefile really needs to invoke "strip 
/usr/local/bin/rdesktop.exe" Strip just removes any debugging symbols, 
so the executable without the strip will work fine, it just might be 
larger than you need.

To fix the problem, you can apply the supplied patch, or just run "strip 
/usr/local/bin/rdesktop.exe".

I don't think it's worth washing hogs over.
