Topic: Makefile Question : How disable strip of binaries ?

Hi all ,
anybody out there who are familiar with makefiles ?
sorry for asking ,  if i for example write in the makefile for a package the following lines  :
$(eval $(call BuildPackage,bridge))
the binaries will be automatically stripped before they are packed in to the *.ipk package ,
so my question is  how can i disable the stripping of the binaries before they go into the *.ipk package ?
i know , it´s a little bit crazy question , the reason for this question is , i am working on a package source of a library , everything is compiled right , and before the libraries go in to the *.ipk package , they are automatically stripped , i don't want that , because after stripping my libraries are destroyed , strip removes too much code , anybody know how to disable stripping ?

thank you for reading this
Have a nice day

make package/foo/{clean,compile} V=99 STRIP=/bin/true
