What is a good way to turn off strip from a toolchain build #6

I often find that toolchain builds crash when my regular dev builds don't. How can I turn off stripping so that I can try to debug these crashes? btw: here is how I am doing it now:

I modify the main makefile for the toolchain like so:

##  HAX
## plugin-build-win: export STRIP := x86_64-w64-mingw32-strip
plugin-build-win: export STRIP := foo-bar

That causes the build to bomb out before it strips and deletes, leaving my un-stripped plugin.dll in $PLUGIN_DIR/plugin.dll.

Currently, there is no facility to do this easily. I would recommend you build the Docker image of the toolchain, which has all of the correct compiler versions installed and then use PLUGIN_DIR=<src location> make docker-run to launch it. Then you can manually execute builds. Stripping is implemented in the Rack part of the build process and probably always require a hack like above to disable.
