I think `makepkg`, which builds a package from a PKGBUILD file on Arch 
Linux, doesn't actually output much information itself, just what 
function it's running (`Starting prepare()`, `Starting build()`, etc). 
All other output is just the output of the commands being run, but 
`strip` does its job silently. As far as I can tell `makepkg` does not 
seem to have any 'verbose'-flag.

I'm sorry I didn't realize sooner the problem happened outside of 
openssl's own configure/make/make install-cycle, it was only when you 
mentioned objcopy being called by strip that I looked into that.

Thank you for getting involved in the bug report.
