No.

Actually, the error only occurs when compiling with MPlayer, because STRIP
isn't defined there. Although one might think that it is a pure MPlayer
problem, it isn't, because the condition

  if $(STRIP) ...

is kinda lazy. $(STRIP) will always expand (to @printf STRIP\t%s\n ...),
even if there is no strip util available.

It should rather be checked if there is a "; SOMETHING" at the end of
$(STRIP). (Well, and MPlayer maybe should defined STRIP, but that will be
discussed over there.)
