If we ever had it, it stayed in limbo, but... I seem to recall we had such
a beast as make macros that would check arguments against a command, and
return the argument if supported, or an alternative (or empty)...

The only two incarnations of $STRIP I could find are (spaces squeezed to fill
in a single line):

# grep -r \\\$\\\(STRIP .
Makefile: $(Q)$(STRIP) -s --remove-section=.note --remove-section=.comment \
scripts/Makefile.IMA: -$(STRIP) -s -R .note -R .comment -R .version $@
