Then don't make it apply to both ;-)

Isn't that what your patch did for early part of the install target? $(PROGRAMS) are installed with $(INSTALL_OPTS) while the invocation of $(INSTALL) for $(SCRIPTS) lack $(INSTALL_OPTS).

If we were to pursue this further, it probably is a good idea to rename the $(INSTALL_OPTS) to $(INSTALL_STRIP) to avoid complaints by confused users.

Something like this squashed into your patch, perhaps.
