I traced this error back to ./configure that was selecting /usr/bin/strip instead of powerpc-fsl-linux-gnuspe-strip. After some more digging I found that configure selects strip due to line db_cv_path_strip=${db_cv_path_strip=/usr/bin/strip}

I would encourage you to write a patch and send it over.
